There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to create. The holidays are over, and everyone is back to nibbling on carrots and celery, with all the delicious foods from the past months fading away as sweet, distant memories. While healthy eating is important, let’s not forget to enjoy ourselves while we wait for spring. Taking cake decorating classes online may be just the solution!
With weddings, graduations and anniversaries right around the corner, now might be the time to try something new and expand your cake decorating skills. One of my favorite spring treats is the Pate a Choux pastry swan. They are incredibly beautiful, with the rich golden pastry sandwiching the delicate cream filling. Certainly this dessert will delight at any party or event this spring. Watch the video to learn how to make it, and follow along step by step as we create a masterpiece together.
(Note: if you are planning on making this dessert for a special event, take the class far enough ahead so you can do a “trial run” without the time pressure. You’ll be more relaxed, and get much better results for the final product. Then watch the video again as you make the swans for the big day.)
Easter is always a special time in our family, and I love to load the holiday table with incredible desserts that represent the sweetness and freshness of spring. You can take cake decorating classes online that will inspire and teach, making your Easter celebration that much sweeter.
