Our pastry chef reveals trade secrets for baking light and airy cakes. 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. You will practice piping frosting in beautiful borders. In addition, you will learn and practice preparing edible tree decorations to adorn your holiday cake. 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! This class is appropriate for anyone interested in baking.

Ages:
Family Classes: Children of any age accompanied by an adult may attend Family cooking classes.
Child-Only Classes: Children 7 or older may cook without an adult present in our “Kids” classes.
Adult Classes: Children 16 or older may attend Adult classes with or without an adult. Children 14 or older may attend Adult classes if accompanied by someone 21 or older.
Cooking Station Assignments:
Two or three people who register together will cook the menu items with each other. Our goal is to have guests do as much as possible in the time allotted given the restrictions of appliances and cooktop space. If you purchase a single adult ticket, you will be assigned to work at a station with another person who purchases a single ticket.
Each person (adult and child) will receive enough ingredients to prepare a generous portion of every menu item or one cake per person for cake decorating classes.
Gratuity:
Leaving a gratuity is not required but appreciated if you enjoyed your cooking experience.
