Today I decided to take a cupcake decorating class. Mr. Jon Belleau gathered some tools of the trade, gave a few demonstrations of how to use the different tools, and then off we went! We spent some time practicing making shells, leaves, borders, and roses on parchment paper. We also got to create a few designs out of fondant, which is really fun for decorating! Then we were off to the big leagues of decorating cupcakes.
This pushed me for one big reason: I like to be good at things I do, and I'm not very good at decorating with frosting. However, it was so worth it to allow others to help me learn, and to become more comfortable with something that I've always wanted to try my hand at!
Here are a few pictures from the day. Some are from Annie, some are from me. :)
