Cupcakes in Bloom

We brought cupcakes to cake decorating class and we learned how to make some icing flowers, which I thought was apropros for Spring!

It was actually tough making those leaves look leafy! And our practice mat had us making THREE types of leaves.

And I was able to make big icing swirls! It was a big deal for me personally. I've always been intrigued by icing swirls. I had used sky-blue icing color on these, which I thought ended up looking like the elegant, Tiffany shade of blue. It felt like putting whipped cream on a sundae.

Next Monday will conclude our course, and we're bringing a cake to decorate with flowers. How swiftly time does fly!
