Create your own exquisite layer cakes! Learn how through two layer cake recipes: a caramel chocolate banana cake and a vanilla grapefruit cake – each featuring their own decadent layers. With pastry chef Kathryn Gordon as your guide, you’ll first find out how to plan a layer cake so that the colors, flavors and textures pair perfectly. With this essential skill covered, you’ll create the chocolate base and delicious sponge cakes for both your entremets. Then, Kathryn will show you how to make a crunchy meringue dacquoise and a variety of candied fruit accents. Move on to whipping up a rich white chocolate crémeux and a sumptuous salted caramel chocolate crémeux. Plus, master techniques for assembling cakes in perfectly even layers, then glazing for a beautiful finish!
