Easy as Pie!

This is a FLEX class and does not meet live!!  
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!  

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

Oftentimes when people think of pie their brains go to Thanksgiving and the classics – pumpkin, apple, pecan, etc.  In this class, learners will work hands-on to bake and create four unique and scrumptious pies.  

Week One:  Cooke Dough Pie

Week Two:  Snickerdoodle Apple Pie

Week Three:  Chocolate Cream Pie

Week Four: Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Pie

Each week a series of videos will be shared in the classroom providing students with step-by-step instruction for the skills we'll be focusing on.  Students can work at a time that is convenient for them, re-watch the videos, pause while working along... whatever jives best with their creative process.  Learners will share their pies in our virtual classroom for feedback and discussion.  Our virtual classroom will come alive with brainstorming, questions, and sharing of successes!  I love to see it all - from work in progress photos to completed masterpieces.  Students can learn so much through classroom discussions and peer review.  Plus we all love cheering one another's successes in the classroom.  I am available to troubleshoot and answer all messages the same day.  Let's create together!
