Cupcakes

This cupcake masterclass will focus on creating the perfect cupcake base. In this hands-on master class you will learn to create several different flavours, experimenting with various methods and creating delights such as Courgette and Chocolate cupcakes and Red Velvets.

Decorating techniques will be basic and focus primarily on learning how to use a piping bag to create ribbon swirls, shells, and pearls. Quick tips and tricks on garnishing will also be covered such as marbled chocolate stars, fruit crisps, toasted marshmallow, meringues and pralines.

Helped by the Leiths team, you will go home with an array of cupcakes to share with family and friends.
