This tradition has been around for years, but the reasons for canning today are different than the reasons people canned foods years ago. Whether you grow your own produce or purchase locally, we can’t enjoy all of our fresh fruits and vegetables all at once. So why not preserve that fresh, home grown flavor from your garden for use all year long – preserving your harvest for wintertime soups, sauces and other creations. We will can tomatoes and salsa using the water bath method and green beans using the pressure cooker, and even an assortment of jams & jellies. You will complete your own product from start to finish and take home the end results to enjoy later. |

In this icing class you will primarily be working with royal icing, but also building on the techniques learned in "Cake Decorating Basics.” Royal icing is a very fun and time-saving medium, in that decorations may be made in advance and, if stored properly, have a very long shelf-life. Daisies, pansies, violets, and roses are just a few of the flowers that you will master during this course. You will also be working with color flow and butter cream. This is a hands-on course so be prepared to have plenty of sugary homework. Instructor: Cale |
