Class Description

Great cakes don’t happen by accident—they’re the result of proper technique, preparation, and understanding how ingredients and mixing work together. In this hands-on class, each student independently scales, mixes, bakes, and frosts their own cake while learning the methods that produce consistent, professional-quality results.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use professional mise en place to scale and prepare ingredients efficiently
  • Apply the reverse creaming method for a fine, tender crumb and ideal texture
  • Understand how ingredients, mixing, and temperature affect your results
  • Recognize when cakes are properly baked and how to work with your oven
  • Troubleshoot common problems like batter splitting, dense texture, dryness, or uneven layers
  • Prepare buttercream from scratch and fill, stack, crumb coat, and frost a finished cake

This class focuses on building real skill and confidence so you can bake beautiful, consistent cakes at home.

No prior experience necessary.
