Bold Baking Academy: All About Cakes

Description Learn about three of my favorite layer cake recipes! We will begin the course with my Simply Delicious class: Classic American Birthday Cake with Whipped Milk Chocolate Ganache. We will be baking up moist, finely textured, buttery layers of yellow cake and building it up with fluffy and sweet milk chocolate ganache. It’s iconic for good reason, and the recipe and technique you will learn in this class will take your skills and knowledge to a whole new level. Once we have a solid foundation of basics out of the way, we will be making a Vertical Lemon Cake in our Step It Up class. In this class you will learn how to make a perfect and simple sponge cake all dressed up with homemade lemon curd and mascarpone whipped cream. It is assembled in an exciting new way that is so much easier than it looks and it will be sure to surprise and delight your guests. At the end of the course, it will be time to Challenge Yourself with my Classic French Marjolaine. You will learn how to make a hazelnut dacquoise and a French buttercream that will get layered together with a silky dark chocolate ganache. It is a fittingly elegant end to any dinner party and for sure, to a month of cake-making! As always, look out for this month’s two exclusive bonus recipes: Pistachio Pound Cake with White Chocolate Glaze and Coconut Cupcakes!
