Piecaken Pop-Up Youth & Adult Class - Baking & Photography

Thanksgiving is around the corner, so it's time to get creative in the kitchen and generous with the result.

Layla of Honey Hollow Farm is partnering with Kristina Gibb Photography for this once-in-a-blue-moon youth class opportunity that will combine the art of cooking (baking) and food photography together.

What will we be baking? Piecaken.

What is Pikecaken?

It consists of 3 layers of pie, traditionally a pumpkin pie, pecan pie and spice cake cut and stacked together, then finished with cinnamon frosting, oat crumble and apple pie filling. Its creator, Chef Zac Young, has come up with other variations of the dessert that are featured in Bake Magazine.

The class participants will get to choose their favorite cake & pie flavor profiles and be split into groups accordingly.

During the assemblage of this decadent dessert, the students will artfully stage and photograph their ingredients before they go into the oven. We will also experiment with process photography which will help tell the story of how one makes a piecaken. (Think: photographs as they would appear in a recipe book or from a food blog.)

They will have an opportunity to decorate them with frosting and sprinkles to their hearts' content, and of course photograph the end result as well as engage in a good ole' fashion bake off, before slicing it up and bringing a large hunk home to share.

Cost: $75 - inlcudes ingredients and cost of class.

Ages Welcome: 13+
