Cupcake Decorating Class

In this workshop I will demonstrate making the perfect buttercream frosting and we will learn piping techniques to decorate with it. We will work with five cupcakes adding buttercream borders, rosettes, flowers, and flourishes. Then we will use fondant to coat cupcakes, make cut out and molded flowers, and decorations on another five cupcakes. Each student will go home with 10 cupcakes, boxed for a beautiful presentation. You will also go home with recipes, tips and tricks, and purchasing information.
