The Mischief Maker Signature Cake & Buttercream Class

Come bake with me. In this self-paced class, I’m sharing one of the recipes at the heart of The Mischief Maker: my Appalachian Granny’s White Buttermilk Cake, along with silky Swiss Meringue Buttercream, cake soaking syrup, and the techniques I’ve refined through years of professional baking. You’ll learn how to mix and bake tender, even cake layers, make smooth and stable Swiss Meringue Buttercream, fill and stack a layer cake, and create the clean, straight-sided finish I use in my own work. More than a recipe, this class is about learning what to look for as you bake—the textures, consistencies, little adjustments, and techniques that make the difference between simply following instructions and really understanding what you’re making. Designed for all levels, including complete beginners. Work through the approximately one-hour class at your own pace and return to it whenever you’re ready to bake again.
