Celebrate the flavors of the season with a full day of baking, filling, frosting, and decorating! Join Shayla for this hands-on cake class where you’ll create an indulgent Pumpkin Cake layered with Caramel Buttercream, Toasted Pecans, and Brown Butter Cream Cheese Icing—all from scratch.
You’ll begin the day by making tender, super-moist pumpkin cake layers, learning how to create a cake that is rich in fall flavor while remaining beautifully soft and moist. Shayla will guide you through preparing the batter, properly filling your pans, baking your layers evenly, and knowing exactly when your cakes are perfectly baked.
While the cakes cool, you’ll move on to the fillings and frostings. You’ll make a fluffy Caramel American Buttercream for the filling and learn how to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency that's perfect for layering. You’ll also toast pecans to bring out their wonderful nutty flavor and add a delicious crunch between the layers.
Then comes one of the stars of the cake—Brown Butter Cream Cheese Icing. You’ll learn how browning butter transforms its flavor, adding a rich, toasted, almost caramel-like depth that pairs beautifully with pumpkin and warm fall spices.
Once all the components are ready, it’s time to build your cake! Shayla will walk you step-by-step through leveling, filling, stacking, crumb coating, icing, and decorating your cake. You’ll learn practical cake-decorating techniques that you can use again and again at home, along with tips for creating a beautiful, professional-looking finish.
Throughout the day, you’ll learn not only how to make each component, but also how to organize your baking and decorating so that everything comes together successfully.
Whether you’re new to cake decorating or looking to improve your skills, this class is all about building confidence while creating something truly delicious.
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with your own handcrafted Pumpkin Caramel Pecan Cake—a beautiful seasonal centerpiece that's ready for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Christmas, or any holiday celebration.
Come ready to bake, decorate, learn, and enjoy a full day of fall flavors—and take home a cake that’s sure to be the crowd favorite at your next holiday gathering!
