Mission to Matrimony: Cake Baking and Beyond!
By Marianne SalinaThose little plastic brides and grooms just don't cut it anymore. Carmen Electra had her four-tiered castle of Oreo cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, and little Swarovski crystals sparkling through the frosting and Donald Trump had a Grand Marnier five-footer cake. If you plan to enroll in baking school or pastry school, you might want to be ready for an artistic venture as well.
Why not go all out on your wedding day and have a cake that goes further than vanilla with white frosting? Many couples now opt for more creative cakes--some even request cakes with a space theme. Baking and pastry school graduates can make these dreams come true.
Baking School
We all enjoy celebrating big events with an elaborate dessert and weddings are possibly the best example. The cake baking innovations of recent years will have prospective bakers and aspiring cake makers rushing off to baking school. Wedding cakes are becoming the most important centerpiece of a wedding day, with no limit to decadent taste or flair. Baking and pastry schools and cake baking experts teach the necessary skills and tools to build a tasty delicacy into a work of art. And couples everywhere are seeking the top artists in the industry to create a cake that speaks their language of love.
Start From Scratch
Everyone remembers the details of a wedding--the dress, the music, the food--but nothing tops off the blissful event like a memorable cake. Baking and pastry school take students through the initial steps of cake baking--making the perfect mix, concocting various frostings and fillings, and then of course, using these skills for an elegant display. In baking schools all across the country, culinary students are taking their passion for delightful desserts to the next level--and sometimes five or six levels. Whether it's making a space ship or accenting a carrot cake cascading with roses, baking school can open the door to a whole new creative experience.
