We are honored to have Chef Bronwen Weber return to The French Pastry School. Bronwen Weber’s signature cake carving and fondant modeling techniques will be the highlight of this three-day hands-on class. Each student will create two finished showpiece projects. Many techniques will be taught in this class including: stable internal structure systems, cake construction and carving methods, covering irregularly shaped cakes in fondant, fondant modeling, chocolate modeling, sculpting, and painting and airbrush techniques. Recipes and information will be provided for the best types of cake to use for sculpting, carving, and working with rolled fondant and modeling chocolate. Each student will take home their masterpieces at the end of the class. This course is accredited by the American Culinary Federation (ACF) for 24 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs). |
