via Craftsy

Overview

Description Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned baker, this class will help you hone in on your baking skills in order to master any recipe. Follow along as Rachael Teufel shares three of her favorite cake recipes, each of which uses a different mixing method.   These cakes are each paired with an icing that matches perfectly to create mouthwatering combinations that will add lots of flavor and texture to your recipe collection. You’ll learn how to make a carrot cake using the creaming method and top it with a light cream cheese icing. Then watch a velvety smooth coconut cake come together using a reverse creaming method. Next, Rachael whips up a batch of luscious coconut Swiss meringue buttercream and demonstrates a quick and easy icing technique that takes only a few minutes to complete. And lastly, you’ll enjoy one of Rachael’s childhood favorites, a fudgy chocolate cake with a faux ganache. Along the way she shares several tips for mixing up each batter successfully, ingredient substitutions that will inspire you to explore new flavors, and a few fun decor options to take your cake from the kitchen to the dessert table as quickly as possible.
