Class Experience

In this class students will learn how to make delicious cake pops. Using simple at home ingredients I will teach the students step by step how to mix their ingredients, mold their cake pops, attach handles and decorate using candy melts. 
On the first day I will share a recipe from scratch not a box, for students to bake, we will then use our hands or mixer to break up our cake and shape into pops. We will allow our cake pops to cool in the refrigerator overnight, we will use our candy melts and toppings to decorate our cake pops and share with our friends and family. 

No experience is needed for making cake pops, but parental guidance is suggested for hot oven use.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree from Florida Gulf Coast University

Hello & Welcome! 

Thank you for your interest in my classes and in me. I have my Bachelor's of Art: Fine Art from Florida Gulf Coast University, go Eagles! After four years of teaching visual arts and three years of  teaching online, I am excited for every opportunity to teach young learners and help them grow. My classroom is one that is open and friendly, accepting of everyone regardless of skill level or knowledge, promotes creativity, and inspires learners to continue to learn. I love that "aha" moment when something we are learning clicks and a students eyes light up.

I am open to creating classes to meet the needs of students. Share your excitement and ideas! I love all medium: drawing, painting, sculpting, fiber arts and digital design. I also love cooking from scratch. 

I try to tie in the history of the arts as I teach so that it builds a background for what we are learning. If we are learning about Surrealism, we might digitally travel to Spain and learn about the history of Salvador Dali and tour his museum. Then we will create a dream journal and our own artistic creations based on the style of the movement. I want my classes to inspire students of all ages to create.

I have always had a passion for the arts, traveling and gaming. I have been a gamer and have enjoyed tabletop games like GURPS and D&D, as well as online platforms like World of Warcraft and Asheron's Call. 

I hope to have the opportunity to meet your learner soon! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
