Cupcake decorating...

On Tuesday night my mom and I went to cupcake decorating course - it was so much fun!! We arrived and found out that it was themed - under the sea theme which we didn't really expect BUT it was fun non the less....

The bakery we did this course at was called Zolitas!

There were a few of us at table, we each had our own work station...

 A few things in store to look at.

These are the cupcakes we had to make - yoh!

 This is Zolita - she taught us all about cakes and icing...

 YUMMY butter icing - I am not a fan of icing at all but this was yummy! I am so keen to make some myself...

My first two attempts - I think I did well - I did a swirrly and a wavy one...

 Mom concentrating - alot!!

 I did four with butter icing and then the other two with fondant...

 My most favorite one - the wavy one!

 We broke for tea and had some lemon meringue cupcakes...

Then the fun started - we had to make our cup cake toppings - this believe it or not is a whale!! Mike didn't think so but I created him so I know!! I named him Rusta cause he looked kinda high :)

 And this head belongs to Oliver the Octopus :)

 And this is the end result - I recon they came out quite well!!!

 My moms....

 And mine!

 Mike was quite impressed!

I could not bare to eat any of my precious creations so I sent them with mike to work and they were really enjoyed by this work peeps - Michelle said she at Olivers head first then one leg at a time!! POOR little guy, eaten in the prime of his life!!
I am really keen to do my own cupcakes and ice them with butter icing and send them to mikes work for round two... I just need an afternoon spare to do it!
