Description
Class Experience
Students will learn how to separate eggs. Students will learn how to determine if their meringue has soft peaks. Students will learn how to pipe macarons. Students will learn how to make buttercream, macarons, meringue kisses and curd.
I have been a teacher for 15 years and a hobby baker for 5 years. I have catered events and taught cooking classes in person.
The homework for each week will be to practice the skill of the week and bake delicious treats for them to enjoy. Sometimes with baking, it will take more than one try to complete the project. Students will post pictures and/or videos (if they choose) of their completed projects and post positive comments on other learners' pictures.

Students will be using stand mixers and putting cookie sheets in the oven. There are nuts in this recipe. Almond flour is used along with dairy products. This is not safe if you have a nut and/or dairy allergy. Students will be using a pan on top of the stove to make curd and will have to stir that pan for a while.
