Bake & Take: Spring Cake Pops

Join Chef Melissa Walnock, a classically trained pastry chef from the CIA Apple Pie Bakery Café, at a hands-on spring cake pop baking class. Cake pops are not as easy to make as they look, but with help from a pro you'll go home with master decorated pops.

We will teach you all the skills you will need to create these adorable little treats at home. Our cake pops will be focused around a spring theme. We’ll start with the basics, including how to form, shape, stick and dip and move on to some more advanced decorating and piping skills. At the end of the class each baker will go home with a cute bouquet full of their own unique cake pop designs!
