ケーキミックスマジック：秋の味覚

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!

Fall is such an amazing time of year!  There’s fall foliage, pumpkin patches, a chill in the air… and best of all baking!!!  The flavors of fall are some of the greatest highlights of this amazing season!  In this class we’ll be creating cupcakes like nothing you’ve ever tasted before, beautiful cakes, and cookie sandwiches that roll all of the flavors we associate with fall into scrumptious desserts that melt in your mouth.   

Here’s what you can expect to create in this course:
Week One – Sweet Potato Casserole (inspired) Cupcakes
Week Two – Spice Cookie Sandwiches
Week Three – Maple Walnut Cake
Week Four – Apple Pie Cupcakes

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.  I encourage lots of classroom discussion throughout class.  Whether you're stuck on something or jumping up and down with success... share!  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 respond to all messages the same day.  Let's create together! 

When it comes to cake decorating…. I pretty much do it all!  I can take learners from their very first box mix all the way up to stacking tiers upon tiers of fondant covered edible works of art!  I offer a “skills map” towards the end of each class to help learners identify what skills they may want to jump into next.
