Class Description

Description

Master the technique of authentic Italian cuisine and seasonal desserts together in this hands-on family workshop at NY Cake Academy!

In this cozy, fall-inspired class, kids and adults will learn how to craft rich, creamy Arborio rice infused with sweet roasted butternut squash, fragrant herbs, crisp fried sage, and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano—followed by creating an elegant, autumn-inspired Pumpkin Tiramisu. Guided step-by-step by our patient chef instructors, family members will learn essential Italian cooking and dessert-layering fundamentals—from roasting caramelized butternut squash cubes and coaxing starches out of Arborio rice for signature all'onda creaminess, to whipping spiced pumpkin mascarpone cream, espresso-dipped (or cocoa-dipped for kids) ladyfingers, and layering decadent dessert cups.

What You & Your Family Will Learn & Do

  • Perfect Risotto Technique: Secrets to toasting Arborio rice, deglazing the pan, and gradually adding warm broth to build maximum creaminess.

  • Pumpkin Tiramisu Layers: Whipping autumn-spiced pumpkin mascarpone filling, dipping ladyfingers, and assembling beautifully layered tiramisu cups.
