Cake Baking and Decorating (wk 4)
You will learn about the best tools professionals use when baking and decorating cakes. You’ll also learn the art of leveling, applying a crumb coat, frosting, and decorating. We will practice piping frosting in different designs, including roses and borders. Each guest will bake a two layer 6″ cake, but during class, you will learn to decorate using pre-made cake layers which have been thoroughly cooled and ready to be frosted. You will take your cake layers home to practice again while the lessons of the class are still fresh in your mind!

Chef’s Kitchen: Guests in the Chef’s Kitchen cook the same menu as the rest of the class; however, they use the gas cooktop and convection ovens in the Chef’s Kitchen.
