Summer Youth: Gravity-Defying Cake Magic (Age 14-18)

Ever wondered how these gravity-defying cakes actually work? Well, then this is the class for you! Christine Chapman, owner of Crumbs Cakery, will spill the beans and teach you all of her cake magic tricks.

Together we will build a reusable 3D armature using ¼” aluminum pipes, wooden boards, wrenches, drills, and glue guns. On the second day, we continue our adventure by stacking our cake and sculpting it into an alien life form. Day 3 will be the day our alien is getting his limbs and eyeballs, and finally, we will use food-grade petal dusts combined with lemon extract to color our masterpiece. 

This class is perfect for the detail-oriented caker. We will spend considerable time sculpting and transforming the cake into an art piece

Participants will also learn the importance of cleanliness in the kitchen.  All participants will be responsible for assisting in washing up and cleaning The BARN Kitchen Studio in accordance with our restaurant permit standards. 

Prerequisite: This is an intermediate class and not for beginners. Participants should have some prior cake baking experience.
