I would like to introduce you to my course Flavour & Textures.
The building block of Flavour & Textures is the alice+rosa master recipe: a perfectly balanced sponge in texture, flavour, and structure. Using the same preparation method with minor adjustments to the ingredients, you will learn how to create eight flavour variations. This will make your production process more efficient, allowing you to prep and bake more in less time.
Another great thing about these recipes is the flexibility they offer. A hybrid cake provides the flexibility to choose between using butter, oil, or a mix of both according to your preferences. Choose butter for flavour and structure, or oil for moisture – and lower costs, given the rising price of dairy.
On top of that the preparation method of these recipes is fast and direct – all ingredients are mixed in a single bowl. This is the simplest and most practical method that will optimise your preparation time, and save on washing up.
As a complement to this collection of smart recipes, you will receive a recipe scaling chart so you can scale any of the recipes to any size. All the calculations have been done ahead of time to save you the hassle.
The sponge recipes are a complete course on their own. But to make this programme even more special, I’ve packed the second part of the course with all of my favourite filling recipes. I have created and chosen these exclusive recipes because they work so well with the alice+ rosa sponges.
The result? An exciting cake menu that prioritises the customer’s taste experience without neglecting the value of your time, profitability, and efficiency of your business.

This course is for bakers with or without previous experience who want to:
I’m Carol Ravagnani. I’m a cake designer, instructor and the mother of two young girls (Alice & Rosa – hence the name of my most famous cake design, and brand!).
When I was starting out, I had plenty of sleepless nights following my passion for baking once my daughters were in bed. It was challenging, but the love for what I do always kept me motivated and committed. I worked hard to find an artistic identity, improve my techniques, meet customer expectations and build a profitable business.
I created the alice+rosa florals, my signature style that has attracted international acclaim and made it possible to connect with bakers from all over the globe. Smart simplicity is my guiding motto and I apply it to everything I do, from my designs to my recipes and methods.
Today I am proud to teach students from over 40 different countries and lead a growing and diverse community of passionate bakers that share the same strong values for collaborative learning and creativity.
