蛋糕混合魔法：跳脫框架思考

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!

Does your child have an artistic flair?  Love good food?  Love to watch the kids baking championship and other Food Network fascinations?  This class is for them! 

This class encourages learners to think outside the (cake) box!  We’ll be using cake mixes in ways you probably never thought possible to create scrumptious desserts.  We’ll reinvent the cake mix to such a degree that no one will ever dream it originated in a box.  This class is the tip of the iceberg.  Once learners start using cake mix in unique ways their wheels will continue to turn and creativity will soar well beyond our time together in class.  

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 am able to hop in a classroom when necessary for the toughest of questions.  Let's create together! 

Week One:  Milky Way Madness 
Week Two:  PB&J Cookie Bars
Week Three:  Cherry Cobbler with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream (no machine necessary)
Week Four:  Lemon Cheesecake Bars

It should be noted prior to enrolling in this class that an electric hand mixer or stand mixer will be necessary for our coursework.  

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.
