Pound Cakes are My Jam ❤️
And I Want to Teach You ALL of My Secrets!
On October 29, 2022, we talked about all of the *sweet* secrets that I use for my pound cakes!
These sweet secrets are amazing for any pound cake:
- You don't have to follow my recipes (but I love when you support!);
- You don't have to buy a bunch of special, single-use equipment (well, except for a bundt pan!), and, most importantly;
- You don't have to feel like you're playing chicken with your pound cakes ever again.
In this class, you'll learn E V E R Y pound cake secret that I learned in my years at the Culinary School of Hard Knocks. And, because this is an encore class, you'll learn even more than what I taught in the original class!
What took me five years to master, you can learn in two fast-paced hours of interactive instruction. 😂
So, this holiday season, your pound cakes can take center stage on the family's dessert table.
And of course there are freebies!
As a special "thank you" for signing up, you'll get:
- A list of my favorite pound cake tools; and
- A "first look" pound cake recipe!
After this Masterclass, you'll be able to confidently create incredible pound cakes forever. You'll also have lifetime access to the class once it's over, in case you want a refresher!
See what our students are saying!
Spoiler alert...they're happy campers 😊
A lifetime investment all worth it

Read MoreI have taken Shani's classes before. She is a gifted teacher who really takes the time to explain not only the how to do a technique, but the why. She takes the time to answer questions and encourages a back and forth dialogue with her class. She used zoom for this class, and I found it really useful to have multiple camera angles to see what she was demonstrating. We could see an overhead view of what she was demonstrating, which helped to see what she was describing to us. We could all easily watch as her sauce thickened in consistency, the glaze come together, and when the sugar in the simple syrup was dissolved. I really appreciated her enthusiasm and passion for teaching others how to up their baking game with these easy touches that take a cake from ordinary to centerpiece worthy.

Shani has a very clear way of explaining and teaching. It is refreshing. She takes her time to not only explain but to demonstrate.
