Workshop #2 - Cake & Cupcake Baking Lab

​In this hands-on baking lab, you’ll mix and bake your own cake and/or cupcakes while exploring how ingredient ratios, mixing methods, and substitutions affect texture and richness. We’ll compare pre-made cake samples, test flavor pairings, create a cake filling, and break down what makes a cake moist, light, and decadent. You will leave with cake and the confidence to recreate it at home. Participants take home cupcakes and have the option to bake a cake to frost for the buttercream workshop.
