Looking For Something?

About Me

I am NOT a chef, culinary student, professional pastry chef or any other formally trained food manipulator. I am the co-owner of Crucial Element Productions and CAKE! Dessert Design Studio. I can plan it, cook it, bake it and make it look pretty. Did I mention I love to eat?! If they had a 12 step program for Cakaholism I'd probably need about 15 to kick the habit. Decided to let my addiction become my pastime and eventually my paycheck.

Online Classes

As always there is a wealth of info available on the web for newbie and professional bakers and decorators; some really good, some...... One of the best resources out right now, especially for those of us on a budget, is Craftsy.com.

Craftsy is an interactive online crafting community where you can buy video classes and photo workshops covering a variety of crafting genres for $10-$40. After your onetime payment the class is yours forever and can be viewed from any Internet enabled device. I LOVE their iPad app! It makes viewing the videos crisp and easy.

They are currently offering about a dozen cake decorating classes from cake royalty such as Colette Peters, Marina Souza, James Rosselle, Lauren Kitchens, Richard Ruskell and Joshua John Russell. Most classes cost $39.99 but they often run sales and discounts making them as low as $19.99. Occasionally they'll even offer a free mini class.

For people looking for stellar instruction within an affordable budget this is definitely the way to go.
