Yes You Can Desserts at The Montage Beverly Hills

Oh how I love the precision and creativity that comprise the art of baking. I’d rather venture to make vegan muffins or chocolate chip scones with fresh whipped cream than struggle over a dinner recipe.

Now you can make those fancy desserts you see demonstrated on the Food Network with a little instruction from Executive Pastry Chef Richard Ruskell at the Montage Beverly Hills.  This summer, the luxury hotel has launched a series entitled Yes You Can Desserts.  The chef, who recently won the title of Best Cake Artist in America, guides aspiring bakers and decorators in the creation of cakes, the use of buttercream, the secrets of mousse and more.

Classes are held from 9:30 am to 10:30 am on the last Wednesday of each month. The cost is just $50 and you’ll walk away being able to re-create what Chef Ruskell has demonstrated.  Here is a list of upcoming classes:
