Let’s dive into the world of cake baking and decorating! We will explore how to bake, torte, fill, ice, stack and decorate a two tiered cake and best of all you will walk home with your very own masterpiece.
Day one: it’s flower decorating time. We will learn how to make gum paste and figure out how to make a giant gum paste hydrangea.
Day two: it’s all about the cake. We will bake a delicious moist chocolate cake from scratch, wrap and chill it for the next day. Our gum paste will be cured by then and we will make green leaves (cut from our self made stencils), many sugar daffodils and more loose hydrangea petals out of gum paste. To give these blooms life we will color each petal individually. These will be set aside to dry.
Day three: it’s buttercream day! You will learn how to make swiss meringue buttercream, then we will torte, fill, and ice our chocolate cakes. You’ll discover an easy trick on how to get straight and level cake sides. Be prepared to get messy!
Day four: let’s ruffle! You will learn how to put pipe ruffles on your iced cake. You can ruffle horizontally, vertically, diagonally or make swirls - whatever you prefer. And now, it’s time to stack the cakes! After successfully wiggling them into place we will arrange all our sugar flowers to give it the last bit of hurrah! You will take home your masterpiece to share with family or friends.
Please bring a container on the last day of class to take your cake home in.
