Hello, hello.
We like eating cupcakes but we also like to *make* them. I bought a Groupon (one of maybe three I’ve bought my entire life, FYI) for a cupcake class at Butterlane almost a year ago. Finally got to use them when my mom and sister came to town. Cupcake 101 aka Frosting.
The class made three different frostings: vanilla, chocolate and cream cheese and then the head baker, Sunshine, taught us what you can mix into these basic frostings to give them more flavor. It was a short class, next time I would have opted for one a little more longer and more in depth, where you’re measuring the ingredients yourself but it was still fun! And yummy, of course.
Frosting the cupcakes was the fun part although I could NOT get their signature swirl down for the life of me.
I love this picture.
Cupcake anyone?
That cupcakes looks great, and the butterlane’s webpage is interesting.
Here in Spain we make a big cake at 6 of January, the “roscon de reyes”, A circular cake with a gift inside it.
Take a look if you want to know how to cook it : http://mujer.es.msn.com/recetas/fotos.aspx?cp-documentid=155750595
Have a great 2012!!!
