This last week was a bakers dream. I spent three days at the San Francisco Baking Institute, learning the art of Wedding cake making. What an experience. We learned how to make gumpaste flowers, modeling chocolate roses, piping techniques, how to make buttercream, how to use fondant and so much more. I can’t wait to share with all of you some of the techniques I’ve learned! At the end of the course, I walked away with 2 beautiful two-tiered wedding cakes! And a whole bunch of baguettes, SFBI sure knows how to make bread!
Here are a few pictures!
This is a golden chiffon cake filled with apricot jam, and a Swiss buttercream. I hand made all of the flowers out of gum paste!
This cake is covered with fondant, and filled with raspberry jam! I made the bow too! 🙂
Here are all of the cakes made during the course! Do you have any favorites?
I can’t wait to replicate my experience there, and share techniques with you all!
Happy baking!!
