Cupcakes – Focus on Decorating

Join Leiths Diploma graduate and author of ‘Super Cute Cookies’, Chloe Coker, for a lesson in how to top your cupcakes with style. This class will be based around summer flowers and butterflies, but the techniques learnt can be applied across a huge numbers of styles and looks.
 
There will be a brief introduction to making the perfect cupcake but the day will centre around decoration, from making buttercream to learning techniques such as making chocolate roses, using sugarpaste to mould leaves and butterflies, and piping colourful swirls and roses. You will also use plunger cutters and plenty of glitter to glamorise you creations.
