Goodness from the Garden
Even a carnivore (like me) can enjoy the fruits of the season when you know a few simple tricks of the trade. Learn how to transform a Portobello mushroom into a meal with a little creativity. Tempeh, tofu, what the heck is that? You’ll never be afraid to try a meal with these healthy soybean products again, and you thought you had to have meat with every dinner. Well, it’s just not true. How about Tempeh Jambalaya or Tofu cheesecake? Alright, maybe not the cheesecake, but you’ll be amazed to see the wonderful things you can do with the simplest ingredients and a little instruction to dispel the mystique of the vegetarian trend. This is a class you won’t want to miss if you’re considering healthy habits for the heart and soul.

Cake Decorating I – Decorating Basics
In this basic cake decorating class you will start with baking, leveling, torting, and filling the perfect cake, different types of decorating bags, tips, and their uses. Butter cream icing in three consistencies will help to teach position, pressure, and color mixing. This is a hands-on course so be prepared to bring your baked homework and get a little messy. Borders, roses, transfers, drop flowers, and figure piping will create a beautiful cake and the beginning of many masterpieces to come.

Cake Decorating II – Royal Icing & Flower Making
In this icing class you will primarily be working with royal icing but also building on the techniques learned in "Cake Decorating Basics.” Royal icing is a very fun and time-saving medium, in that decorations may be made in advance and, if stored properly, have a very long shelf-life. Daisies, pansies, violets, and roses are just a few of the flowers that you will master during this course. You will also be working with color flow and butter cream. This is a hands-on course so be prepared to have plenty of sugary homework.

Cake Decorating III – Fondants
The last set in this series of cake decorating classes is for the advanced student. Here you will learn techniques involving fondant. From covering a cake board and cake in fondant, to floral inlay, and brushed embroidery, this class will provide a skill challenge to advanced decorators, and those new to the world of fondant. We will not be abandoning our skills with royal and butter cream either. There will be techniques involving both, and we will learn cake construction both tiered and stacked.
