Our First Couture Cupcake Class

Last Sunday we had he great pleasure here at Sugar Rush, of spending our day with 9 amazing ladies. Some new faces, some regular students; all excited to expand their cake decorating skills with our new Couture Cupcake class. 

Vanilla cupcakes, soft pink icing, lots of sugar, and big smiles. Pair that with a few coffees, a cupcake lunch, and you have yourself the perfect girly day.

This class is all about pearls, lace, bows, and shimmer. We start with the fondant details, so they have the afternoon to dry. The girls loved making the lace flowers, everyone creating different little blossoms to make it their own. The pearls were lots of fun, especially dusting the gold shimmer - somehow I think there was more on hands than anything else!!

After our "healthy" lunch, we got working on those fondant cupcakes. The concentration level went up quite considerably for the black piped dots; but everyone did incredibly well. Especially considering some girls had never held a piping bag in their lives. So proud!

These classes will be running once a month or so, please see our course schedule for more details.

Thank you to every one of our students for making this first Couture Class such a success. We could not be happier with the day, and your amazing creations. We love the little personal touches you made to your sweets, and can't wait to see more creations as you grow as cake artists!!

Couture Cupacke Class - Sunday 21st August 2011

We are pleased to announce the newest class in our Cupcake Courses - Couture Cupcakes

This is a beginners class that will teach a variety of skills, perfect for anyone interested in learning how to make sophisticated, classic, and delicious cupcakes.

In this course, you will learn how to work with buttercream, to produce our perfect soft serve ice-cream swirl, as well as make a delicate ruffle design.

 

 

We will also cover cupcakes in Satin Ice fondant, and create lace flowers, sugar pearls, icing bows and work on those fine piping skills by creating swiss dots with royal icing.

 

This class will again, include the use of all our own tools, meaning there is nothing else to purchase for the class, and we will supply you with one of our cupcake recipes to bake these stunning cupcakes to perfection in your own home. 

First class will commence Sunday 21st August 10am to 2pm. More classes to follow in the coming months, hoping to have one every month, though they may vary from weekday to weekend, and possibly a stint in the vineyards.
