'Cupcake ladies'

Looking Pro...

100% concentration...

Cupcakes are such a treat to bake, but ‘dressing’ it up with pretty royal icing is even more fun.

In this workshop, I had a group of eager ladies who don't really have much baking experience, but they sure look pro in the kitchen. We started with baking the vanilla cupcakes, a simple recipe that requires very little effort and is almost fail-proof.

Once the cupcakes are in the oven, the ladies launched into serious piping mode. Royal icing is one of the easiest icing anyone can make. I tainted the snow white icing with different food colours for our cupcake artists to start their design work. We practised making mini piping bags, filled it with icing and started to pipe enthusiastically.

The kitchen became silent... The ladies were really focused on designing their cupcakes. Well, see the end results for yourself. We have flower gardens, mini mazes, green forest, dainty dots and even Bart Simpson’s hair-do! I think they all look too gorgeous or cool to eat.

Another blissful baking session... ;)
