Over the six weeks we'll cover different mixing methods used for cakes and cookies and make both sponge and butter cakes; custards - baked & stirred (creme anglaise, cheesecakes, creme brulee, ice cream, lemon curd, pastry cream & more); pies & tarts and their different doughs and fillings; pate a choux (cream puff dough) - you can make a lot more than just cream puffs with it!; yeast breads (that can be completed in 3 hours); icings - simple American and classic meringue buttercreams, including cream cheese icing; basic cake decorating techniques; quickbreads, including biscuits & scones; fruit, chocolate and caramel dessert sauces, and plate decorating techniques to wow your guests!
