    The week will begin with Cake Decorating 101 - how to fill and hold a pastry bag to create borders, flowers, and also how to fill and frost a two-layer cake using a spatula and turntable. Students will learn all about cake and frosting ingredients and how they work together to create endless dessert variations. Students will then apply their learning to design and create their own cake based on their personal interests. Over the past years we have seen a variety of animals, sports, space creatures, and even the famous Harry Potter! Each student will receive their own decorating kit, everything they need to work with throughout the week and bring home to continue creating. Kitchen safety and cleanup will be part of class every day. Hopefully, they bring those skills home as well as a new passion for baking!
