Cake - Ed.in

The first thing I have realised when I am learning something new, is I tend to skip all the other details and go straight to how the class is priced. Fair enough, it is my hard earned money and I do go and check out the fee structure before I even read through the details or what anyone else who has done the course has to say about it.

Every so often though I have invested in courses that were out of my scope. That made me stretch my comfort zone a bit. But I have come out of those courses with so much new knowledge in my arsenal that I have earned far more than I invested in those.

Figurine Maestros is one such course. Where normally you get 2 or 3 days to learn a course hands on from a teacher, where you go back and you can't remember anything of what you learned because it feels like such a blur. The first couple of days after your class is done you just want to rest or complete some other pending work. One week later you decide to go back to practice what you learned and you are at a dead end because you can't remember much.

This is where this figurine maestros is such a boon.
1. You don't have to travel to learn which takes care of your exhaustion and fatigue and keeps your mind sharp.
2. You have videos which you can access for lifetime. So watch and rewatch the videos as many times as you want!
3. Each of these videos are shot at an angle which is direct above the working area so you can see every step absolutely crystal clear.
4. You have assignments to complete each week, which keeps you accountable and allows me to give you guidance for how you can improve

Every student who has ever gone through figurine maestros has come out with an in-depth knowledge of figurines. Some of my students have even made an entire career out of making figurines and selling them!

Because figurine maestros is not your average online class. It's not a two bit class that you can learn and forget.

It's a unique skill that you are paying for. And it stays with you long after you have completed the course.

Batch 8 begins on 2nd September 2022. If you are still on the fence, give us a message on 9323812207 (Janhavi) and my team will help you navigate through your doubts and questions if any.

As a teacher the biggest validation I can get is from my students who appreciate my work and teachings with all their heart. And when you get feedback like this, well...sometimes words do fail you.

These are my students from Advanced Fondant Figurine Maestros who, as you can see, came away with some absolutely amazing learnings from it. Thank you ladies!

DID YOU KNOW? Four of these six talented ladies were students of Fondant Figurine Maestros Basic!

I have many students asking me about what's different between the two workshops for Fondant Figurines in my repertoire.

Here is a basic difference between the two - the most important one for the Advanced Version being that you absolutely must have worked with Fondant and specifically for Fondant Figurines.

FONDANT FIGURINES ADVANCED
A three-week online masterclass where you'll learn the advanced intricacies of making Fondant Figurines.
BONUS: 500gm of my signature ModX Modeling Paste included in the course fees.

Class begins 29th May! For any more queries and to register please connect with my admin Janhavi on 9323812207.

🌻Is this you?

🌸Did you know that this Whipped Cream cake uses a painting technique originating in the late 19th century?

🌸The texture you see here is called Pointilism, a technique where small dots of color are applied in patterns to create an image. It was developed in 1886 by French artists Georges Seurat & Paul Signac as a branch from the Impressionist style.

🌸This technique has been adapted for Whipped Cream to give you the above result! Isnt it beautiful?

When I made this cake in Indore:

☆ I didn't have my big stand mixer
☆ I didn't have temperature controlled room
☆ I was working in a spare rooms in our Indore house where there was no fridge, and a borrowed microwave from my sister-in-law
☆ And none of my favorite tools

All I had was the confidence that I could do it, come what may.
And the conviction that my knowledge of Whipped cream will be my biggest strength.

🌸What would you want to achieve if you knew that your base was so strong that you will remain unfazed in any kind of conditions?
🌸What would you love to create if you knew how to play with Whipped cream?
🌸What would be your dream come true if you got your dream client telling you to just create a cake out of your imagination?

P.S. I did the Whipped cream CARVING in this cake using a stainless steel spoon from my mother-in-law's kitchen 🤪

Master your medium. Be the Sapera of your Whipped cream Nagin 🤣🤣🤣

3 things keeping you stuck when it comes to WHIPPED CREAM TIERED CAKES!

❌ FEAR - of not being able to stack them cleanly without damaging the finish of the cakes with your fingers. Fear of the cakes sliding during delivery. Fear of not being able to achieve the right finish and the look.

❌ LACK OF KNOWLEDGE - on how to get the finish perfect. How to stack perfectly. How to handle Whipped cream correctly. What to do when the cream dries out. What kind of textures can you use on Whipped cream. How to use fondant/ lace/ edible prints on Whipped cream.

❌ LACK OF PRACTICE - Because you think that all the cakes made for practice are "wasted" because no one in your family wants to eat any more cake.

✅ If you are willing to practice with Whipped cream while understanding that whatever you practice is not wastage but INVESTMENT in you bettering yourselves - then I am here to help you with the first two.

So what exactly is so special about the Paithani saree? Let's find out!

The name Paithani comes from the town of Paithan, which was once the capital of the ancient Satavahana dynasty that ruled the Deccan region between 2nd century BC to 2nd century CE. This was a hub of textiles and crafts as well as imports from foreign lands. As the centuries went by, these special sarees saw a revival and royal patronage from the Peshwas, who developed the town of Yeola in Nashik as a hub for Paithani weavers & craftsmen.

The saree has some quintessential Maharashtrian motifs like the peacock & mango shape (koyri) along with some traditional color combinations. It is an indelible part of the Maharashtrian cultural identity, and my way of paying homage to my roots!

I will be teaching you how to create and decorate a cake that looks exactly like this saree, in my upcoming workshop -"Hyper-Realistic Paithani Cake". I will also be teaching how to craft traditional Maharashtrian jewelry out of fondant.

📆 Monday 21st Feb & Tuesday 22nd Feb 2022
⌚Time: 11:00am - 3:00pm both days

For further enquiries or registration - get in touch with me on 9323812207.
