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.
PLEASE NOTE - Most recipes in this masterclass are made with eggs or non-vegetarian products. If you can't eat eggs please do not register for this masterclass. Currently, I do not have eggless substitutes for these recipes. I truly apologize.
Here is a short intro to 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.

I really enjoyed taking this course. Taking this course can only give you more tools in your cake making arsenal and who couldn't appreciate more tips & guidance? I really enjoyed the way the course was explained to include the why's. I know I have never thought about the science behind why cakes rise too much, not rise, dry or crack, etc and I felt this gave me a understanding of the need to be precise so you get a great result consistently.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Appreciate it very much

Thank you so much Mrs. Veena. This blog comes to me at a time I need it the most. Like you I am a self taught baker and my university training has nothing to do with cooking and baking. I love the two and want to go commercial. I have baked cake for friends and family and now I want to take it to the next level, wedding cakes and themed birthday parties and other events. I will begin with two master classes baking and decorating to get tips for improving my current knowledge. Fondant has posed the greatest challenge, I have shied away from it even without attempting, this has cost me alot, missed opportunities. So happy that this will be a thing of the past. Looking forward to interacting with you over the next couple of weeks. Warm hugs from ?? Kenya. Maggie.

Thank you for your lovely comment, Maggie. I am happy you are taking the next step. It really gets easier from here. I hope you find these masterclasses useful.
Remember the most important is practice. And, be prepared that it will take more than one attempt sometimes.
One thing to do when you are in business is to take note of your strengths and weaknesses. That way you can take more orders based on your strengths and be more productive.

This master class was indeed educational for someone wanting to learn to bake cakes from scratch,the techniques taught and thoroughness in the explanations has helped me the cakes were easy to bake once the instructions are followed precisely. Thanks once again Veena Azmanov for providing me the opportunity to do another of your master classes three down,one more to go and I can't wait to sign up for it.
