Stage 2 Cupcake Class


This afternoon was our first Stage 2 Cupcake Class.

  This class is for people who have already been to our Stage 1 Class and the idea is that we are able to take the skills and techniques learnt forward to another level, and give ourselves time to learn some useful (and slightly more complicated!) skills.


This shows a section of the kitchen all set up and ready to go.  I had already baked this morning, so we could concentrate on decorative skills and icing techniques.


We spent some time with fondant icing and gum paste, we made cut-out flowers and did some shaping and styling of them.  They looked fantastic.


We made some miniature fondant roses, very fiddly but they just take practice and then we made lots of petals to create a large rose (shown above).  Despite the nerves, they looked beautiful, really impressive!

Below are some of the beautiful boxes of decorated Cupcakes that went home this afternoon.  (We had a bit of a Valentine February theme going on!)
