What you'll do
Get in the fall baking spirit with this 6-hour teen baking class at NY Cake Academy in Manhattan! Teens will make and decorate two autumn desserts: a pumpkin pie vintage cake and classic pumpkin spice macarons. You’ll start with French macarons, learning how to whip a meringue, fold the batter using the macaronage technique, pipe even shells, and bake them until they develop their signature “feet.” Then you’ll fill them with a rich, spiced pumpkin ganache or buttercream.Next, you’ll dive into vintage Lambeth-style cake decorating. Practice shell borders, delicate drop strings, double-draped swags, and dramatic buttercream ruffles, then layer star, petal, and fine round tips to build rich 3D texture. You’ll also blend an autumnal color palette and pipe a custom script inscription.Our supportive and expert instructors will guide you through every step, so you’ll feel comfortable and confident. This class is a great fit for teen bakers seeking easy cake decorating tips, fall baking recipes, or fun things to do in NYC for the fall season. You’ll leave with two impressive desserts to share and the skills to recreate them at home!
What you'll get
- Pre-baked pumpkin spice layer cake ready for frosting, all raw ingredients for macarons, rich buttercreams, fillings, professional piping tools, and a comprehensive recipe packet with piping diagrams for home practice.
- Bakery packaging to transport both your vintage cake centerpiece and a box of fresh pumpkin spice macarons home!
