Cupcake decorating with Cookie Girl

I've been slacking off a bit this week due to one too many nights out with friends so I've been back on the fundraising wagon today with a cupcake decorating class that I plan to use to improve my bake sales and also possibly take a few classes of my own with friends who are more novice in the field than me!

My class was lead by Cookie Girl aka Xanthe Milton, the author of 'Eat Me'. I got a signed copy from her today and I can't wait to try out some of her very imaginative recipes.

It was loads of fun going a bit crazy with sprinkles and colours, and also trying to learn a few tricks of the trade. Xanthe was a great tutor and a lovely lady, and when I told her why I'd booked on the workshop she very kindly offered me a free cupcake decorating lesson RRP £55! I will raffle or auction it off at a later date.

Here are the fruits of my labour today - well most of them. Some of them got eaten already...

As you can see I liked practising 'roses'.

  1. Tim said 'O.M.G' in response to your beautifully decorated cakes! Looks like great fun, and that's so fab that you get to auction off a free session. What a nice lady. Hoping to see some of these at my baby shower! BABY LIKES CAKE.xx

    1. Of course I'll make some for your baby shower! And I may well have some new varieties of cake to offer you, just to confuse things! Any cake-related requests will be fulfilled for my neicephew! x
