This course will allow you to “get inside” their brains and watch them work together to share their knowledge and experiences with you.
- Learn not only the techniques, but also be involved as we show you how to fix mistakes when things don’t go as planned
- Beautiful cakes are great… but they should also taste amazing. Malek and Lisa share their coveted cake and buttercream recipes with you.
- Get insight from two bakers with very different backgrounds: learn from their thought process and pick up tips/tricks that you otherwise may not know of.
- Sometimes, store bought is OK: Lisa and Malek share their thoughts with you about certain components that can be store bought vs. made from scratch.
Don’t be afraid to “fail”.
If you look at the photo of where I started at in my cake journey, you’ll see that even though I was making cool cookies, I wasn’t hitting home runs when I went to decorate cakes. I was learning on my own, watching youtube videos but VERY few people walk you through the step-by-step techniques along with the cues that you should look for when executing the techniques.
Messing up and having “ugly” cakes is a part of the learning process: it takes time and repetition to get good at anything. This course will help ease your learning curve but nothing helps more than practice. Looking forward to seeing what you create!
