Combining a love for art and infatuation with chocolate, she brings over 20 years of inspiration to cake decorating and teaching. In 2005, Chef Sullivan established her own cake studio, Lovin Sullivan Cakes which eventually grew into Cake Power. She is the author of a book, "Kate’s Cake Decorating: Techniques and Tips for Fun and Fancy Cakes Baked with Love." She has appeared on "Martha Stewart," "Food Network Challenge," "The Rachael Ray Show," Food Network's "Recipe for Success," Food Network's "Sugar Rush," TLC’s "Ultimate Cake Off," TLC's "Fabulous Cakes," "Good Morning America," "The Jane Pauley Show," and "The Today Show." This will be Chef Sullivan’s second CAPS class at ICE. In this class, participants will practice key cake-carving techniques to create their own sculpted cake. In 2016, CAPS will offer a variety of single and multiday continuing education courses for working baking and pastry professionals, taught by master chefs and critically acclaimed artists from all over the world. At CAPS, you will refine your skills, learn new and innovative techniques, and expand your current repertoire with hands-on classes among peers.

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.

Braising - searing at a high temperature, then finishing in a liquid at a lower temperature to infuse flavor - can add umami and more to pretty much any meal! And the best part is, it creates tender, juicy dishes with a minimum of effort. We'll master this technique as we make a braised banquet of: Guinness-braised short ribs with creamy polenta; braised chicken thighs with mushrooms and balsamic vinegar and braised fennel.
Bordered by both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, with snow-capped peaks and lush green valleys, the diverse geography of France offers the best ingredients from the land and sea. You'll get a taste of the best of all those regions in this class. For your Francophile meal, you will prepare and enjoy frisée salad with shallot-bacon vinaigrette; steak frites (sautéed steak with hand-cut french fries); bouillabaisse (seafood soup from Marseille); and honey lavender blanc mange.
Fermentation is an ancient art touted for its health benefits, reducing waste, and robust flavor profile. Its versatility is embraced by chef professionals worldwide to elevate their creations. Each student will make four jarred ferments to take home and the class will conclude with cooking simple dishes to instruct you on how to best put your ferments to use in your own kitchen. Learn and uncover techniques, distinct flavor profiles, safety measure protocols and dish applications as you make and enjoy: fermented sweet and spicy red pepper relish hummus; fermented currant-mint stuffed grape leaves; fermented moroccan carrot couscous grain bowl; fermented antipasti pasta salad *this class is vegetarian and vegan-friendly
