Our 1st Year Youth Baking Academy students packed a lot of learning into this weekend!

They started by baking a Red Velvet Cake from scratch and also preparing a boxed cake mix that they enhanced to improve the flavor and texture. Then they used both cakes to create a fun and colorful Checkerboard Cake — a great way to combine baking, layering, design, and precision all in one project.

Our bakers also added several new decorating skills to their toolbox this month. They learned how to pipe Rosebuds, Half Roses, and Carnations, practiced several new borders, and were introduced to Palette Painting with buttercream to create beautiful floral designs and textures.

We also continued reinforcing skills from last month, including shells, stars, and swags. Repetition is such an important part of building confidence and consistency, and it is wonderful to see the students becoming more comfortable with their piping bags each month.

A very special thank you to Johnson Bros. Bakery Supply for providing the buttercream our students used to practice their piping skills and decorate their cakes. Their support helps give our young bakers the hands-on practice they need to continue growing.

We are so proud of this group and the progress they are making. Each month they are adding new techniques, strengthening the basics, and becoming more confident in the kitchen.

Take a look at their work from this weekend and leave them a little encouragement in the comments!

The challenge was to take a blank cake - see below - and ask ChatGPT to design the cake on what it knows about me and I also asked it to consider what it knows about the Cake Craft Shoppe. And here is the results.....Love it!!!
