Tempting Cakes

Learn the techniques and secrets to prepare famous classic cakes that never go out of style. Discover the best ingredients, baking temperatures, cake varieties, fillings, toppings, and finishes.

Josep Armenteros

Pastry chef and gastronomic consultant. Best pastry chef in Spain 2007 (Barcelona, Spain)


International cakes known throughout the world are a sure success when well prepared

In this course you will make some of the most iconic cakes that have withstood the test of time, for instance:

A pavlova (named after the Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova), this time with high edges – crisp on the outside and tender on the inside – and topped with whipped cream and fruit.

From France, a namesake layer cake (in honor of the actress Sarah Bernhardt) featuring a steamed gluten-free sponge.

From England, a crumble that originated from the use of ripe fruit during the Second World War. Today we prepare it with rhubarb and apple.

We will make a classic red velvet cake, typical of American desserts and famous for its moist sponge cake with cream cheese frosting.

Of course, we couldn’t overlook a cake that can be prepared without the oven. We are talking about chocolate mousse with a hazelnut base – it’s a combination that everyone likes.

By the end of this course you will be able to create perfect cakes for any occasion.
