You’ll learn the techniques behind both doughs, how to achieve the perfect balance of flavor and texture, and the traditional fillings that make each cake special. Plus, we’ll explore the history and cultural significance of these festive treats. By the end of the class, you’ll have not one, but two delicious cakes to take home—perfect for celebrating Mardi Gras, or just indulging in something spectacular!
