Description
Class Experience
Students will increase their skills and confidence in baking.
I have decades of experience baking, and I continue to learn by taking classes in person and via Zoom to improve this craft.
I will send a complete recipe on Monday of each week, but please read the following information to get an idea of the ingredients and equipment/tools needed. Please note that each recipe will be unique and may require specific tools and ingredients. This will be especially important for the macaron recipe. Cookie ingredients: Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies: butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, peanut butter, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt, dry oatmeal. Chocolate Truffle Cookies: butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, unsweetened chocolate, flour, salt, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, cocoa, and baking spray. Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies: butter, granulated sugar, almond extract, flour, corn starch, jam, powdered sugar Macarons: egg whites, almond flour, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, cream of tartar, vanilla, gel food coloring, lemon juice/vinegar, unsalted butter, salt, cream, flavorings such as vanilla or artisan flavors (I use Amoretti Artisan). Equipment/Tools: Electric Mixer Paddle and whisk attachments (optional, but very helpful, especially for macarons) Mixing bowls Prep bowls (small bowls) Measuring cups Measuring spoons Zip lock sandwich bags Baking sheets Rubber spatula Spoon Scissors Potholders Cookie scoop (optional) Pestle (optional) Piping bags Piping tips (I use #12 & # 21) Fine strainer, sieve, or sifter Kitchen scale with gram measurement option Parchment paper or silpats 2 large mugs
