Class experience
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....
4 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1S'mores CupcakesIn this lesson we'll be baking an incredibly detailed and layered s'more cupcake that is unlike any cupcake you've likely eaten before.Week 2Lesson 2Reese's CupcakesAny chocolate and peanut butter fan will flip for this cupcake that is topped with delicious peanut butter buttercream and contains an entire Reese's for the crust.Week 3Lesson 3Oreo CupcakesThis cupcake has Oreo in the buttercream, cake, and crust. The flavor and texture are so big that it is amazing we can fit it into just a little cupcake.Week 4Lesson 4Cookie Dough CupcakesIn this lesson, the buttercream is the star of the show! Our buttercream tastes exactly like cookie dough with a texture that's too good to pass up.
I am a professional baker who has been teaching confectionery arts on Outschool for three years now. I have loved baking since I was the age of most of my learners! In fact, in class you’ll see my beloved KitchenAid stand mixer that was my 12th birthday present and is still a total workhorse to this day! When my kids were young I decided to take some cake decorating classes to ensure my kids always had show-stopping cakes at their parties. Over time it blossomed into a career beyond my wildest dreams. I operated a bakery for a number of years and eventually transitioned into this ultra-fulfilling role as a confectionery arts teacher. I love seeing the creativity, patience, and precision that goes into each learner’s work. However, I also love seeing them manage a project from start to finish. I am proud of them when they are faced with a setback in their project and they calmly make a plan B. I enjoy watching them interact in the virtual classroom as they learn from one another and provide feedback/compliments on the work of their peers. There is so much more to cake decorating than just cake. (((Although as an invested parent it is your responsibility to partake in eating their delicious homework – haha!))) These learners grow in so many ways throughout class and it is a blessing to participate in that process. I am so excited for this opportunity to create with your learner.
1 file available upon enrollmentGourmet cupcakes require extra love to become the belle of the ball. Ingredients each week will range from $10-20. However, everything necessary for the class can be found in standard grocery stores, craft stores, or on Amazon. Upon enrollment, a full supply and ingredient list with pictures and detailed notes for the entire 4 weeks will be located in the classroom for your reference and class preparation.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learners will need to use the oven and small kitchen appliances to complete their weekly projects. You know your learner best and can supervise as needed.
