Class Experience

In this class, we will learn 2 of the most basic cake mixing techniques: for the vanilla cake we will cover the Creaming Method, and for the chocolate cake we'll learn the Blending Mixing method. 
Students can follow along with me and make their own cakes as I guide them through the entire recipe process from setting up their ingredients, mixing the batter and baking the cakes. 

Please note that we will not cover how to make icing or how to ice the cakes, but I do offer both of these classes for students who are interested in learning these skills.

Learning Goals

Students will know how to make 2 delicious cakes ! and also understand the techniques behind these two recipes.

Other Details

Parental Guidance

We will be using minor equipment (such as an electric mixer with option for a stand mixer) to make the cakes, and the oven to bake the cakes. Parents are welcome to supervise their children and handle the oven if they wish.

Supply List

A detailed google document will be posted in the classroom upon registration ( or latest one week before the class begins) that will include all the ingredient and equipment requirements. All materials are standard household items, but if need be they can be purchases at most grocery stores or super stores.

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
