About this Event
Summer heat shouldn’t stop you from stepping into the kitchen. In this three-hour course, you’ll learn how to make a decadent charlotte cake with minimal use of the oven — perfect for when temperatures are high. We will take advantage of available seasonal fruit to create two layers of a light and airy mousse, which will be sandwiched between two layers of an almond dacquoise cake, and encased in a joconde almond sponge. To finish the charlotte, you will have your choice of decorating methods that we will demonstrate in class. You will leave class with your own charlotte, as well as the confidence needed to recreate these recipes at home.
