Secrets to Baking Incredible Cakes
Want to learn my secrets to baking incredible cakes? Want to learn how to bake from scratch? Would you like to take your baking skills to the next level? Then, this masterclass is for you.
With every new recipe I share, my goal is to help you become a better baker. And, I write detailed posts along with my recipes so you can learn not just how to bake that recipe but also to become a better baker.
While I have had many baking failures over the years, my failures have only made me a better baker. In this masterclass, I will share with you the lessons I’ve learned from these experiences.
I want you to bake with me. My recipes are tried and tested, so I’m confident you will experience success. And yet, sometimes there will be failures. Hence, I want you to know that I am with you, to help you troubleshoot and learn from these failures.
Also, join the Facebook group, share your pictures and get feedback from me when you join this masterclass.
Here’s what’s going to happen in the next two weeks.
Week 1
- We are going to understand our ingredients
- How to use them
- When and how to substitute them
- And how to master them
The first step in becoming a great baker is to understand your ingredients. The best part about understanding your ingredients is that you are in control – not your ingredients. That’s my first secret to baking.
Week 2
We will do some baking!
I will send you recipes and you will need to follow them and bake. After all, unless you apply the knowledge you have learned you will never know if you have learned it. Right?
Every day, for the next five days, I will send you one recipe, or a choice of two recipes. You will bake one recipe (a simple cake). Don’t worry we will start from the basics and move on to more challenging recipes.
Tools I need for this course?
I am no a slave to tools but there are a few tools that do make cake decorating easier. I have listed a few cake tools here that you may consider investing in.
Finally
Your success in this masterclass is largely dependent on your participation in the course material.
So, I highly encourage you to read the material and to practice the assignments. And, bake some cake.
While you can’t share your cake with me perhaps you can still share the pictures with me on my Facebook Group. I look forward to seeing your hard work.

You don’t need a camera to take pictures. Your phone camera is adequate. Just make sure your images are clear, not blurred.
This masterclass is given via a series of emails. You don’t need to do anything. During this two-week masterclass, every day, you will get an email from me with the content and assignment for that particular lesson. Follow the lessons and instructions, and do the assignment for each day.
Absolutely, but don’t do them all at once.

Thank you so much, Chandra
I did Cake Masterclass just few days back, unfortunately I couldn’t complete it as I was out of few ingredients for the last two days. And at the last moment I couldn’t arrange due to lockdown.
Here’s my feedback:
1. I loved the whole process and it was fun learning with increasing difficulty level gradually!
2. And loved how Veena ji would guide and appreciate. I literally used to wait for your comment after posting the picture.
3. I’ve never seen any class like this and that to free of cost!
4. Suggestion – Just one suggestion as everything else is superb.
It’d be great if the list of the ingredients required is provided in the beginning after registration for the same. It’ll be easier to arrange the stuff.
Please consider point no 4. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your feedback Bhakti.
For most projects, I provide more than one recipe to accommodate the availability of ingredients.
And most cakes use standard cake supplies as the importance is on the technique and process but your point is well taken and I will look into it.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Thanks for the free master class, in a newbie baker like me, It help me a lot from basic understanding of the ingredients that I usually used for baking. It helps me also to understand the step by step or the procedure on making breads, cakes and cookies.. your recipe is easy to understand and to follow.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas. God bless you always.
Thank you so much for the feedback, Werlie. I am happy to hear this masterclass was useful
Stands true to its name – ‘Masterclass’. Not just the recipes but science behind baking, information regarding ingredients, substitutes, recommendations – one can find everything here. Even Veena’s take on different weathers and how recipes behave in different places is very very helpful. She is the best! Ask her questions or share your excitement on your successes, she responds on everything. I feel good about my baking only because of you Veena. Thank you!

Hi Veena
I tried your recipe for ‘ No knead bread ” and it was a success. I should have taken a photo of the whole loaf, but instead I did of half the loaf. I also tried the Crossoints. They came out well. Shall send you the photos.
