The cakes you'll learn to make

Get to know every part of an amazing cake in depth

When you start out in baking you run into thousands of recipes and methods that often get confusing and make it feel like this is something really complex. That's why, throughout the course, I teach you each preparation in detail: its recipe, the method, the possible variations and what role each ingredient plays.

My goal is that by the end you feel confident not just to make the recipes, but to experiment and tweak them to your own taste.

Who is this course for?

For people with no baking experience at all, and also for those who already cook and want to add new options to their repertoire.

What you'll need

  • Mixer (electric or handheld)
  • Cake pan for the sponges
  • Kitchen scale
  • Piping bags
  • Decorating tips
  • Oven

Federico Quevedo

Founder of Fede Cocina

I started teaching baking in 2020 when I created the Fede Cocina channel. With over 10 million views and more than 200 recipes taught, I put together this online course. A graduate of the Instituto Argentino de Gastronomía, I help people like you discover and grow their passion for cooking.

What our students say

A very complete, highly recommended course

I took the course thinking it would only cover a few basic preparations, but I found that Federico explains lots of techniques and shares ideas that helped me make many more kinds of cake than I expected. Highly recommended!
