I’m Filming My First Cake Course.. In Spain!

August 2, 2024 · In: Featured, Lifestyle

One of my biggest goals for this year has been to film a cake course, and I’m so excited to say that IT’S HAPPENING! My friends at Domestika reached out earlier this year and invited me to come film a birthday cake course at their studio in Madrid. And since I’ve wanted to go to Spain for as long as I can remember, it was a fast yes!

This cake course is going to cover everything you need to know to make perfect birthday cakes for your loved ones, from planning out the design to baking the cake layers, making the buttercream, building a structurally sound layer cake, and decorating it in all sorts of ways. I’ll be filming for an entire week, so the course will cover a lot. It will also be available in eight languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, and Polish). I can’t wait to share more details when we have a launch date later this year! 

Since I truly have always wanted to go to Spain, I’ll be staying for a while after filming week to explore the country and relax on its beautiful beaches. And as if that wasn’t enough, I decided to take things even further and treat myself to a month-long sabbatical to end my Summer.

Between my book launch last year, having my second baby, and balancing being a full-time mom of two with running Sugar & Sparrow, I realize that (like everyone) I need a break! It feels like the right time for me. 

BUT in an effort to not leave you hanging while I’m away, here are some ways to stay connected until I return: 

  1. Sign up for my email newsletter. I’ve scheduled a weekly email to inspire your baking and provide helpful tips while I’m away, but you’ll want to be on my email list for the future too. I promise to only email you the best kind of news (cause it’s always about cake)! 
  2. If you have a baking question, check out my FAQ section. This is where I answer all of the most common questions I get. Questions like how much buttercream do I need for this specific cake size? Or what’s the best way to store a cake? Or if I decorate a cake on a Wednesday will it be okay to serve on a Saturday? And so on. 
  3. Help each other out in the comments sections of my blog or on Instagram! You might have a helpful answer to someone else’s question. It’s always good to help out your fellow baker. 
  4. Subscribe to my YouTube channel for video updates. I’ll be uploading the Domestika course trailer there when it’s ready! I’ll probably be posting some videos of my adventures in Spain too, because SPAIN!

PEACHES AND CREAM CAKE 🍑 I have not been able to s PEACHES AND CREAM CAKE 🍑 I have not been able to stop thinking about how tender this cake is (even when chilled!) + every bite has the most refreshing, creamy peach flavor 🙌🏼 it’s layers of extra soft vanilla cake, homemade peach syrup, brown sugar peach filling, and cloud-like whipped cream frosting. Best use of your late summer peaches imo!

EASY FUDGE BROWNIE ICE CREAM 🤎 (recipe below) the EASY FUDGE BROWNIE ICE CREAM 🤎 (recipe below) the easiest no-churn chocolate ice cream with gooey brownies + ribbons of fudge in every bite!! Even if you’ve never made ice cream before, you’ll be amazed at how easy this is to make without an ice cream maker 

🍦Full recipe at https://sugarandsparrow.com/no-churn-fudge-brownie-ice-cream/ + more no-churn ice cream recipes linked in my bio 

INGREDIENTS
2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
3/4 cup (4oz, 135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup (30g) cocoa powder 
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
2 cups brownie chunks (store bought or homemade) 
6 oz hot fudge sauce

INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer (or stand mixer w/ whisk attachment) until stiff peaks form, about 2-4 minutes. Place into refrigerator.
2. Heat the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate, then whisk in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. 
4. Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the chocolate condensed milk mixture. Then, pour the chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped cream and fold together until combined. Fold in the brownie chunks. 
5. Scoop large spoonfuls of the brownie ice cream mixture into a loaf pan along with a few smaller spoonfuls of the hot fudge sauce. Use a wooden skewer or butter knife to swirl the hot fudge and create ribbons as you go. Continue adding and swirling until all of it is in the loaf pan.
6. Press the reserved brownies into the top of the ice cream, then cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Freeze for 6-8 hours, after which the ice cream should be semi-firm, scoop-able, and ready to enjoy!
