Learn to decorate a cake like a professional!
We’d all like to enhance a special occasion with a cake as a gift and dessert. In this class, you will learn to decorate a cake that is as beautiful as it is delicious!
Chef Linda will demonstrate the sequence of:
- Finishing the cake with an exterior icing
- How to use buttercream, pastry bags and piping tips
- Making and using a parchment paper bag for fine line decorating
- Making marzipan and roses for final garnish
Each student will be given a cake base and decorate their own cakes to take home!
Instructor Bio
Chef Linda Helgestad Quinn’ s love of food, pastries and baked goods can be described as “home grown”. Her childhood was filled with memories of inspiring dinner table discussions with her Norwegian parents, her father being a soil chemist and her mother a resourceful and passionate home maker.
Linda was determined to take her own innate passion of food and turn it into not just a profession, but what would be her life’s work. She went on to graduate from the California Culinary Academy with honors, specializing in pastry and moving onto to work as a pastry chef at hotels, resorts, fine dining restaurants, catering companies, and specialty wedding cake shops.
Linda continued her education, gaining her vocational teaching credential and her bachelor’s degree in vocational education and began as the primary instructor for the ACF accredited commercial baking program at a Bay Area community college and at Tante Marie’s cooking school. These classes were primarily conducted for professionals, yet she also taught at many recreational consumer food enthusiast programs around the Bay Area.
Linda’s 20+ years as a culinary educator, and 20+ years as a food marketing account executive has exposed her to wonderful food connections and learning opportunities. She aims to always set her students up for success and help them feel comfortable and confident with the exacting art of pastry making!
