Snowflake Cupcakes


     One of the girls I used to work with sent me a message on Facebook after looking through my cake pictures. She asked me if I would make her some cupcakes for her wedding. She is getting married on Saturday, the 19th. She wanted chocolate and vanilla cupcakes in silver foil cups, covered in pastel blue fondant, decorated with snowflakes. She will be picking them up tomorrow.  Of course I couldn't pass up a chance to bake and decorate. :D Here they are.

I WON!!!

OMG! I entered a giveaway on a blog, Beki Cook's Cakes, I follow on Facebook and I WON! What did I win? I won the Wilton Ultimate Rolling Tool Caddy. I have been eyeing this caddy for a while now, was saving up my money to get one eventually(they are not cheap). I am so excited!!! I have never won anything like this before. I do believe 2013 is going to be a fantastic year for me. It's already starting out well.. :D 

Here is a picture my new caddy... I LOVE IT!!! As you can see I have already started to fill it up.

Wilton Cake Decorating Course 1: Lesson 1

My first class went well. It is a really small class, just me and another girl. I say girl because she is between 12-14. Her grandma brought her to class and stayed to watch.  We didn't do too much, mostly listened as the first lesson was about baking a cake and making icing.  We were able to practice some stars on cookies toward the end of the class and got a tour of the Wilton aisle in the store.

Call me an overachiever, but I already have my stuff ready for the next class, including the class icing and cake I had to make using the Wilton method and the tools and other stuff needed. The class isn't until Saturday. Think I may be a bit excited? LOL!

On a side note and totally not class related.. I will be making some cupcakes soon for one of the girls I used to work with. She is getting married Jan. 19 and would like me to make her some cupcakes for that. I will be covering them with fondant and piping snowflakes on them. So, Friday, I get to go shopping for the stuff to make those. She will be coming to pick them up on Friday, Jan. 18. I'm excited for that as well.

Look for a new post soon, like within the week soon. I have something exciting to share, but am going to wait until I can get a picture.  There will be a new post about Lesson 2, Monday, Jan. 14..
