Milk Street: Cake Decorating 201 with Bronwen Wyatt
Guest Chef Bronwen Wyatt is back with Milk Street for another livestream cake decorating workshop at the Milk Street Cooking School.
This time, her mission is to transform a single-layer cake into a show stopping dessert that your friends will think came from a fancy bakery.
The webinar will start with Bronwen’s go-to recipe for carrot cake that’s both rich and light. She’ll then talk you through how to choose, store and bake with freshly-milled flours – and how to succeed with standard grocery store options, too.
You’ll prepare a batch of silky Swiss Meringue Buttercream, a frosting option that’s a far cry from its over-sweet American cousin, especially when you add in a dollop of one of Bronwen’s favorite secret ingredients.
Then, it’s time to try your hand at frosting. She’ll introduce you to her set of simple cake decorating tools and walk you through the foundational decorating steps before demonstrating – as many times as you need to see it – her signature swoop, a flourish that instantly turns any cake into a showstopper.
Finally, you’ll get a primer on flowers that are cake-safe and learn how to source and store them before incorporating them into artistic, colorful cakes.
Length of Class: 1 hour 30 minutes
