Cupake Class

I got the pleasure of taking a class with Karen Tack and Allen Richardson, authors of What's New Cupake?, Hello Cupcake! and Cupcakes, Cookies and Pie Oh My! It was my first cooking class at Sur La Table, and a lot of fun. My cupcakes did not quite turn our right,but it was well worth the time :)



This is Glen, the sheep. I named him that. Sadly, his head fell off before class was over. I eventually propped it up on his green meadow cupcake.

This one might be my favorite. It is called....Pig in the Blanket. He was super easy to do and came out really well. For some reason I forgot to take his picture in class, so here he is about five days old (I really don't plan on eating my cupcakes...more on that later.)



This is the Lady Bug. I tell you this since you can not really figure it out when looking at her. She was odd in class and really odd now. She has eyelashes made of sprinkles (hers have fallen) and a necklace. Not my fave.

As I said class was really fun, but since Karen and Allen (see that I am on a first name basis with them) are food stylists, so they seem to not think about taste as much. All of the cupcakes and frosting are boxed/canned. And some of the combinations are off, like marshmallows and spice drops. But, all of their work is really amazing and superfun. If they come to a Sur La Table near you, run, don't walk!
