We've all made sad cupcakes. The kind supposedly donning a frosted star, but it looked more like a melting triangle of despair. After taking Cupcake Decorating with Butter Lane, this will no longer be a problem. Not only will you learn how they make their delicious frostings, but how they make themed and beautiful cupcakes as well. You're encouraged to harness your creativity after learning the classic decoration techniques such as petals and leaves. You can also design your cupcakes with roses, sunflowers, or create not-so-classic designs like your name, pickles, or even a perfectly melting triangle of despair. At the end of class you will have six personally decorated cupcakes for you to bring home to share with family and friends.

Now there's one thing kids love to bits, and that is a delicious, sprinkly, swirly cupcake! But it doesn't end there. They also love sticking around in the kitchen and watching you make them too! There is something special about baking together as a family. This is what the Butter Lane cupcake family class is all about. You can bring your little kitchen helpers and make the perfect cupcakes. Start from the beginning and involve your children in the mixing of the batter right down to the best part of the whole process --- the decorating! Psst!
