Join Chef Penny Stankiewicz to take your cake decorating to the next level in this immersive hands-on cake-sculpting class.

Make all the decorative pieces before putting it together for one amazing sculpted cake! You'll also learn how to make plans and size them properly to feed any group while creating stunning sculpted cakes.
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.
