Ever wonder why a wedding cake looks so special and always seems to radiate a little magic? The secret is fondant and royal icing. Done well, it can put a baker on the map by creating a spectacular impression. For the home baker, it can be just as sweet: experience the awe of your friends and family when they see your latest masterpiece. By the end of this class, you will know how to bake, cover, and decorate your own 3-tier cake.

Amazingly, you can learn to confidently use these new skills in just 25 hours. As one of The FCI's exciting new Amateur Courses, Fondant & Royal Icing is designed to take the skills of any baker to the next level. You'll get the same world-class facilities, distinguished Chef-Instructors, and intensive Total Immersion^SM training method The FCI is famous for, in a hands-on course designed to fit your schedule.
With unprecedented access to the same Chef-Instructors who teach our career students, you will hone your skills in an intensive setting where your time is spent actually creating beautifully decorated cakes. Our Total Immersion^SM approach means you get the maximum hands-on time possible in our modern instructional kitchens.

Each class begins with a brief discussion of icing recipes and techniques. Then, you'll get right to work. You'll:

• Prepare both fondant and royal icing
• Decorate cakes using royal icing piping
• Create and assemble bands and bows
• Prepare whole egg foam Génoise cakes and butter cream
• Complete and decorate a three-tiered cake based on an original design

By the end of the course, you'll know the secrets of some of New York City's best bakers, and your vision of the perfectly presented cake will no longer just be a daydream. Instead, you'll have the skills and confidence to make it a reality.
