Baking Bootcamp

Welcome to The Baking Bootcamp!! 

I'm so excited for you to start baking.

Pastry Arts can be intimidating

‍Are you a great home cook, but just haven’t taken the time to attempt desserts at home?

Are you intimidated by baking recipes?

Do you believe that baking is a science, and one wrong move will leave you with wasted time and ingredients?

In this course, I’ll show you how to tackle a range of baking recipes to increase your confidence and demystify the Pastry Arts. From cookie dough to ganache, pie to cake, we’ll cover staple techniques that will improve your baking knowledge and make successful baking at home a reality!

Baking can be tricky!

There’s a difference between reading a page of instructions and seeing a recipe being made in real time. The nuances of measuring, folding, whipping and baking can make the difference between a fairly good dessert and a great one.

By learning the building blocks, you’ll be able to take on any recipe you come across with the knowledge of how to put each step together properly.

This course contains 6 Sections:

• Cookie dough

  We'll talk about creaming methods, over vs. under mixing, and the role ingredients play in creating the perfect cookie

  
  

• Chocolate

  We'll discuss tempering, how to make the perfect ganache, and the beauty of "good" chocolate

  
  

• Cakes

  We'll mix up cake batters, discuss baking times, and the role gluten plays in cake

  
  

• Yeasted Doughs

  We'll conquer brioche, pretzels and pizza from scratch, demystifying the use of yeast and the perfect combination of kneading and rise

  
  

• French Pastry

  Have you attempted French macarons without success? Here's your chance to finally conquer this technique. We'll also turn homemade pate a choux into cream puffs and gougeres

  
  

• Pies

  The perfect pie dough is within reach, along with a great use for frozen puff pastry, and the perfect key lime pie
