In the second of five Cake Baking Essentials Certificate classes, brought to you by NY Cake Academy’s Baking \u0026amp; Pastry Fundamentals, you’ll uncover the secrets to achieving a layer cake that “stacks up” in taste and structure. Learn the steps to frame cake in frosting, which contributes to good cake engineering—balancing the physical limits of each component while maintaining its integrity. Guided by our expert instructors, you’ll master the hi-ratio mixing method to create fat-based cakes as well as techniques for cake assembly and piping. Learn to work with high-temperature sugar, flavor buttercream, and make an Italian Meringue buttercream all before putting your new skills to the test with a Glazed Marble Pound Cake and a layered Hi-Ratio Buttermilk Cake with Italian Meringue Buttercream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You’ll Learn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-The hi-ratio mixing method\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-Pairing cakes \u0026amp; frostings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-Difference between common cake types (Egg foam-based, Fat based and Hybrid)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-Various types of frosting (Buttercream, Ganache, Boiled and Whipped cream)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-How to make an Italian meringue buttercream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-How to flavor buttercream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-Working with high-temperature sugar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-Piping \u0026amp; cake assembly techniques\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 14px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You’ll Bake:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-Glazed Marble Pound Cake\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e-Hi-Ratio Buttermilk Cake with Italian Meringue Buttercream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"color: #dca359; background-color: #dca359; border: solid; border-width: 2px; border-color: #dca359;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNY Cake Academy classes are held in our Manhattan flagship at 118 W 22nd St. All supplies and materials included, but if you require any special accomodations please don't hesitate to contact us at \u003ca href=\"mailto:email:custom@nycakeacademy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ecustom@nycakeacademy.com\u003c\/a\u003e.
