Each ingredient we incorporate into basic batters and complex doughs supplies its own unique composition and function. In this class, students will become acquainted with the inner workings of baking and pastry staples, from cereals, grains, and sweeteners to eggs, dairy products, and leaveners. We'll work through a range of preparations, including Breads, Cakes, Laminated Doughs, and Cookies. Professionals, $100; students and alumni, $60.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

California is the top wine-producing state by far --- and when most people think of California wines, Sonoma and Napa immediately come to mind. But in reality, only about 10 percent of the state's wine comes from these two celebrated regions. This evening’s tasting, hosted by ICE’s resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, pits the two regions' best varietal wines head-to-head in a no-holds-barred face-off! Come help judge the best (or at least your favorites) from these two renowned areas. Of course, some delicious California cheeses will accompany the evening's eight wines!
