Cupcakes and St. Patrick's Day

Yesterday was my third cake decorating class, in which Jessica and I decorated cupcakes! Our lesson was how to make basic flowers and shell patterns with buttercream frosting.

 

Here's what I did in class!

 



This cupcake is my favorite, even though other people don't agree. I love the tiny swirls! I also made a couple leaves under there.

 

Shells. It looks woven together, yes?

 

The spiky flower. I practiced on the parchment paper in the background, but I was too afraid to move it. Jessica successfully moved hers, though!

 

She even made two!

On Saturday night, I also brought cupcakes to Jessica's house so we could teach Amanda and Kat what we are learning in class. It was tons of fun, especially because we made lots of different colors! We got very creative . . .

Amanda and Kat made a panda wearing a psychedelic t-shirt.

 

Jessica made sheep!

 

I made a manatee for Amanda, because she loves them so much.

 

And I made this colorful one (which my family ate! I'm so upset. I was saving it for later!)

 

In other news, Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you all enjoyed some corned beef and cabbage and boiled bland veggies. I particularly enjoy that meal. And as a special St. Patrick's Day bonus, here are some pictures from the annual party!
