“Come along and learn to make the elegant, decadent Opera Cake with Mary Storey. The creation of the cake goes back to 1955 when great French pastry chef Cyriaque Gavillon worked at the legendary Dalloyau shop in Paris. ... His wife told him it reminded her of the Paris Opera House, Palais Garnier. It was a name that stuck, the Opera cake was born.

You’ll learn to make all the elements and learn to assemble and cut this sophisticated entremet that includes six layers of Blackberry* Ganache, Blackberry* Buttercream, Elderflower Syrup soaked almond sponge cake topped with a glistening Chocolate Glaze. Plus, you’ll learn how to use Edible Gold Leaf and to create beautiful Cocoa Butter Embellishments.

*Boozy or not, the choice is yours!

This cake makes enough for TWO Opera Cakes , so bring along a friend to share in the fun (or freeze one for a wicked indulgence at a later date!)
