For those who are looking to bake the perfect cake from scratch, this class is for you. In this comprehensive two-day class, on Day 1 you will focus first on making two basic cake bases (chocolate and vanilla), then learn how to flavor fillings and frostings to customize any cake. On Day 2, you'll learn how to level and torte cakes for even filling and frosting; and how to crumb-coat and decorate cakes. Working in teams of two, each student will finish and take home two of the following cakes: vanilla mocha latte with mocha ganache and espresso buttercream; triple chocolate cake with dark chocolate cake, white chocolate ganache, chocolate frosting; chocolate chip cookie dough with vanilla cake, cookie dough filling, vanilla buttercream and cough dough bites; and Ferrero Rocher with chocolate hazelnut cake, Frangelico, praline ganache, chocolate ganache and feuilletine garnish.
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.
