The Brighton & Hove Food Partnership's Community Kitchen is a cookery school where everyone can cook, learn new skills and enjoy food with others. We want everyone to experience the benefits of cooking and eating together. By paying for a cookery class, you help other people to attend cookery activities, regardless of finance, confidence or ability, and to make lasting changes to their lives.
Description
Experienced pastry chef and food stylist Charlotte Fuller will encourage you to express yourself artistically as she reveals advanced techniques for piping and cake decorating to help you create a show-stopping chocolate cake. We will provide a pre-baked sponge so you can focus on getting creative.
Learn key skills and professional techniques including:
- Using chocolate buttercream to achieve a smooth finish and to pipe a simple buttercream border.
