Cake Decorating 101


A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to score a spot in a cake-decorating class taught by Lorrette Patzwald at the Santa Rosa Junior College Culinary Arts Center. Although Lorrette is better known for her bread work, she won a James Beard award for it, the class was very informative and I enjoyed it immensely. The picture is of the cake I made in class. It's a strawberry butter cake filled with lime curd flavored cream cheese frosting and frosted with White Chocolate Cream Cheese frosting. The roses on top were made in advance and are made of royal icing with cream cheese icing leaves.
