About this class

This online class was designed to equip the learner with the necessary knowledge and skill to make the most delicious, decadent, and ambrosial old-fashioned chocolate cake with cooked fudge frosting. The lesson focuses on the fundamental techniques associated with the production of a dark, moist, and tender chocolate cake filled and frosted with an extremely thick, fudgy type of frosting reminiscent of those made by our mothers and grandmothers during our childhood years. Emphasis is given on how to prepare the different components of the cake, including the iconic moist chocolate cake layers, the delectably rich and devastatingly sinful frosting, and the satiny smooth and shiny chocolate ganache glaze that puts a dazzling finish to the cake, making it worthy of a royal ransom! Our easy, step-by-step tutorial, plus our signature fool-proof formula makes it easy for any student to become masters of this priceless masterpiece. Students will also learn basic cake assembly and cake decorating techniques to help them achieve a professional-looking (and tasting) end product. Valuable tips on mise-en-place, ingredient and equipment identification, storage and shelf life of the finished product, as well as costing and suggested selling price are also included in this long-awaited class.
