Vegan cakes: from sponge to decoration (in Slovenian)

Would you like to make a vegan cake – either because of a lifestyle change or an allergy to eggs and milk? Are you worried that the sponge will be dry or that you won’t find the right filling? In this two-day course, we will show that a vegan cake can easily compete with classic cakes in both taste and appearance.

On the first day of the course, we will prepare a vegan sponge, filling (curd), and buttercream. On the second day, we will add chocolate ganache, then assemble and decorate the cakes. We will explore different styles and decorating techniques to adapt the cake to the occasion or personal taste.

We will also cover various recipe adaptations – how to make a vegan cake without gluten, soy, or nuts, and what to pay special attention to in these cases.

At the end of the course, participants will receive a booklet of recipes and tips to help with further cake-making at home. Each participant will be able to take their cake home immediately after the course or collect it well-chilled the next day.
