Interview and Cake Finishing Demonstration
with Rose Wilde
Rose Wilde, whose debut cookbook, Bread and Roses, will be in discussion and demonstrating innovative cake finishing techniques along with her baking colleagues, Elisa Sunga and Jacqui de Borja.
Rose will share her love of ancient, heirloom and alternative grains and how to enhance the depth of flavor of your bakes by tasting for tannins, body, acidity, strength and hydration. She will dig in to the ways her global travels have influenced the unique recipes in her book, and provide expert tips on the proper ways to source and preserve ingredients from local farmers. You are invited to join Rose for this deep dive party into modern layer cakes with wholegrains and botanicals!
