This is was such a fun class. You can tell Christa really has a passion for baking and a love for the science behind it all. Thank you!
Chrysta is smart, great with people, and has fantastic cakes and desserts. She is willing and excited to share information and really gives her all in the class. You have the opportunity to learn a lot! I would definitely sign up for another.
It was a really nice event. We learned how to make several different frostings and taste them next to each other which was really nice. She also can answer any questions about altering the main recipes a bit. The only thing I didn't like was that it's set up for groups of people, rather than everyone doing their own. So, you really spend more time watching than getting hands on experience.

Parking:
There is a parking lot in the rear of the bakery that is managed by a valet attendant 10am-6pm every day. During this time period, the first 1 ½ hours are free with validation, and $1 each additional ½ hour.
Before 10am and after 6pm, the parking lot is "free-for-all"—meaning, park where you see a space and then get a decal from the bakery to place in your windshield so if you are bloc
What's on top of your cake should compliment, not overwhelm or overpower the cake itself. Good frosting isn't overly sweet and serves as an accent to your cake.
Class will pay special attention to frosting techniques, as well as nuances/differences between each frosting type. Students will learn how to fill and manage/hold a decorating bag, will also learn about frosting tips. You will learn "The Swirl" or Soft Serve Method, as well as "Push Down/Pull Up", Drop Flowers and Rosettes.
