Cupcake Class Photos

We've been having a great time in our weekly cupcake classes. The students have been doing a fantastic job and it's been a pleasure meeting everyone. Our first week's class included piping flowers on cupcakes. Students learned to prepare piping bags with couplers and tips and fill them with icing. They practiced piping Mums, Pansies, Sunflowers and Zinnia. Each student went home with their own little flower garden!

Our second week's class project included coloring icing and piping designs on cupcakes. The Thursday evening and Saturday morning classes learned how to pipe swirls, ruffles, pulled peaks and a basketweave design. Everyone had a great time deciding which colors they wanted to use for their designs and which sprinkles and toppers to use to accent their finished cupcake. Everyone had great ideas for making their own cupcakes special.

Next week's classes with Jodi McMillan should be exciting and everyone is looking forward to taking home their own cupcake bouquet of roses, hydrangeas and sunflowers. I will be out of town next weekend to attend the Cove Country Cake Show and the western PA Day of Sharing in Bedford, PA so I'll miss Saturday morning's class. But, I will be at Thursday evening's class and hope to see a nice turnout. Right now we still have four available seats, so don't miss this opportunity to bring home a bouquet!





Cupcake Class Week 3

Next week's cupcake bouquet class will be taught by Jodi McMillan. Jodi is the pastry chef at the Stegmaier Mansion and she is also the owner of "Cakes by Jodi". Jodi creates some great fondant cupcake toppers that she sells on Etsy. If you have a chance check out her selection of items at pastrychefjodi .  Jodi will be teaching students how to pipe roses, hydrangeas and sunflowers on cupcakes as well as how to construct a cupcake bouquet centerpiece. These are a great idea for an inexpensive centerpiece for a baby or bridal shower. Or, maybe you would like something out of the ordinary for your next bake sale or coffee clatch.

The picture shown is only a general idea of what you will be doing. Classes are scheduled for Thursday, Aug 18th from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm and Saturday, August 20th from 10:30 am - 12:00 noon. The cost is $20.00 per student which includes a terra cotta pot and all other supplies needed. You just need to bring yourself and 12 cupcakes without icing. We've been having a blast in previous classes and this one will be tons of fun as well. We hope you can join us for the cupcake bouquet class. Seating is limited to 10 per session, so make your reservations soon!
