About the event
The girls will love making -- and later eating -- this spectacular rolled cake. First they'll learn how to form a Genoise cake, then a delicious strawberry filling to go inside, as well as homemade chantilly cream. Last, it's time to assemble, roll and garnish their masterpieces with plenty of fresh strawberries! At home, let the cake set in the refrigerator for a couple hours, then celebrate your kiddo's delicious success after dinner.
As part of this private class curriculum, students will walk away with kitchen safety skills and a basic understanding of high-altitude baking, They'll also learn teamwork, gain personal confidence, pick-up some culinary chemistry knowledge and -- just as importantly -- have lots of fun!
