Your very own sugary masterpiece awaits you.
Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort and executive pastry chef, Shelli Soto, are hosting a “Cake Decorating 101” class from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 10.
The culinary team at the resort is treating everyone in the class to one-on-one instructions, live demonstrations, and a High Tea Luncheon. Shelli Soto is taking on the group of eager, cake decorating enthusiasts and passing on her knowledge and techniques.
Perhaps, the most incredible part of the class is that you get to devour your beautiful creation.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
