Why is a flex format positively awesome for baking and cake decorating? 
#1  For best results, learners truly need to work with ingredients in an ideal state.  In live classes a lot of time is spent “keeping the group together.”  Oftentimes this means learners are working with fondant that has dried out of ganache that has cooled because they aren’t able to work at the best pace for them. 
#2  Creative minds typically don’t like to be rushed.  I doubt Van Gogh ever said, “I’ve got 55 minutes.  Let’s knock out some sunflowers!”  I can see precision, detail, and creativity in the work my learners complete because they have the time to really immerse themselves and work at a pace that is comfortable for them. 
#3  The ability to pause and rewind is like being the gift of time travel!  Class participants can manage the pace of the class themselves and customize it 100% to their learning style. 
#4  As a working mom of three homeschooled kids, I completely understand how busy life can be sometimes.  This class is available whenever you are!  Rainy day and soccer is cancelled?  Make your cake!  School holiday?  Make your cake!  Flexibility is a gift in our busy lives!  

**************************************

This class suits beginner to advanced bakers and will be equally fun for all!  We will be working with iconic flavors of the Christmas season in new and exciting ways.  Participants will be led step-by-step through the process to create the following desserts:

Week One:  Mini Eggnog Cheesecakes
Week Two:  Hot Chocolate Lasagna
Week Three:  Gingerbread Cupcakes
Week Four:  Chocolate Peppermint Layer Cake  

Expect a good dose of holiday cheer in this class as well.  From décor to background music this class will include all the holiday feels!  Each week I'll be sharing a special ornament from our tree with a short story behind it.  Learners are encouraged to do the same and share theirs in the classroom.  We'll bring the spirit of Christmas into our virtual classroom space in so many fun and unique ways.   

Each week a series of videos will be shared that break down all necessary steps in great detail.  This is a flex class and does not meet live.  Content will be delivered each week and bakers can work along with the videos at a time that is convenient for them.  I am 100% available for support and answer all questions the same day they are received.  Learners will to share photos of their work for feedback in the Outschool classroom.  Our virtual classroom space will come alive as learners brainstorm, ask questions, and cheer on one another's successes.  Each week will involve interactive riddles or jokes for participants to get into the holiday spirit!

Learners who have taken other classes with me can expect to pick up a few new skills in this class.  We'll be making cream cheese buttercream, piping with multiple colors at once, and filling our layer cake in a unique way to name a few!  

Recipe cards for all four weeks will be sent at the conclusion of class so these delicious recipes can be repeated year after year.  Trust me, you'll be getting requests for more!

When it comes to cake decorating…. I pretty much do it all!  I can take learners from their very first box mix all the way up to stacking tiers upon tiers of fondant covered edible works of art!  I offer a “skills map” towards the end of each class to help learners identify what skills they may want to jump into next.
