Description

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

In this cozy, fall-inspired class, you'll 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 expert chef instructors, you 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 ladyfingers, and layering decadent dessert cups.

  • Perfect Risotto Technique: Secrets to toasting Arborio rice, deglazing the pan, and gradually adding warm broth to build maximum creaminess.
  • Squash Preparation & Mantecatura: Caramelizing cubed butternut squash and mastering the final step of beating cold butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano into the hot risotto for a rich, silky texture.
  • Pumpkin Tiramisu Layers: Whipping autumn-spiced pumpkin mascarpone filling, dipping ladyfingers in espresso, and assembling beautifully layered tiramisu cups.
  • Herbal Garnishes & Cocoa Finishing: Techniques for pan-frying crisp sage leaves for risotto and dusting pumpkin tiramisu with cocoa powder and autumn spices.
