A few days back I wrote about our session at the Cake Baking class. The first session was working on the Jar cake, and as we continued with our session this week as well, it was on decorating the cake. Personally, these experiences are sweeping me off my feet, because I have never tried my hands on baking and cakes, so it's all very new and fascinating for me. Couple of times, I have tried making a simple Almond flour cake myself and that's turned out well, but cake I have never tried. I do enjoy watching it on T.V., the baking sessions, so when this opportunity came up, I instantly opted for it. Our ladies group organized these sessions with one of the bakers in the group. My second session has been equally enthusiastic as the first one.
Let me show you what me made today. In this session we were only the observers and did not really make anything by ourself, but yes, the baker did give us a chance to try our hands on the assembling and decorating part. This month is all Halloween theme, so the cake set up was also done accordingly.
The final outcome
Here goes our session. The cake was already baked and kept, because in a 2-hour session it is not possible to bake and do the decoration all in one go as it also needs cooling time, so the base was already made. The first piece was layered with the chocolate sauce and then on top of it one more layer was kept.
And like that layers of cake were set up on top of each other with chocolate and coffee paste layers in between
Once that was complete then the cake was covered up with the chocolate paste. In the class we were also taught on how to make the different flavor paste.
Now we are taught how to do the strawberry sauce dripping. It looks like very simple to do the dripping, but trust me it's not, it needs skill and precision. The lady is damn good in this, I admired her skills.
Almost ready
The final part was to then decorate it with the macrons, which also she had prepared in advance.
In the end the cake was cut and distributed between all of us.
As I mentioned this class was more of a observation, but we enjoyed a lot and I learned quite a few new tricks.
