Pastry Arts: Cake Bases, Creams, and Composition

Made properly, layer cakes can be incredibly delicate or decadent and extraordinarily beautiful. Learn a variety of cake mixing methods, creams, and fillings, as well as how to troubleshoot problems. Study cake composition, assembly, and design and practice decorative piping skills as you make your own delicious cakes. Use cake bases ranging from chiffon to genoise, chocolate, carrot, and biscuit Viennois. Work with pastry creams, buttercreams, chantilly, cremeux, curd, ganache, and gelée, and decorate with marzipan, fondant, gum paste, and royal icing. During this course, you will make American, German, and French cakes, including Chocolate Hazelnut, Carrot, Lemon Raspberry, Le Fraisier, L’Opera, La Concorde, Sachertorte, and Black Forest. After taking this course, you should be able to understand and make any cake you desire.
