Spring into May Cakes with Gesine Bullock-Prado - Demonstration (Vermont)
Some traditions are never meant to be broken. Gesine Bullock Prado has been baking with us on or around Mother’s Day for many years now and this year is no exception. Join Gesine for a 2 day celebration of May Cakes. On Friday evening she’ll pull out all the stops while she takes us to the world of luscious cake. She’ll come prepared with a fully assembled piece of art and then in just 2 hours, demonstrate how it’s done.
Then on Saturday, come witness her joyful teaching style and techniques as you and she magically create bouncy sponge layers flavored with tangy lemon and a hint of thyme. Swiss meringue buttercream spiked with citrus and paired with a seasonal berry jam completes this towering success. And naturally, Gesine will finish this masterpiece in some artful and creative way. As many of you already know, Gesine never disappoints.
