Last night was my third Wilton decorating class, and we learned a few different kinds of flowers as well as how to properly ice a cupcake. I used my basic vanilla butter cake recipe; while preparing the batter, a certain little boy distracted me and I put a tablespoon of baking power in the batter instead of teaspoon, SO these cupcakes were extra fluffy =) It's good to know that a little extra baking power doesn't effect the taste! My favorite flowers are the drop flowers, but the shaggy mums are really fun to make. I think the most useful thing I learned is the proper 'swirl' for the top of the cupcake - so pretty! Here are a few pictures!

All the cupcakes sittin' pretty on the cake stand. They made it home in one piece! |
Next week we make our final cake with writing! We also learn the Ribbon Rose, which is my favorite (in pictures, anyway). Next up in the baking order is a special surprise for a very special someone - watch for the blog tomorrow or Thursday. Happy Baking!
