Gourmet Cupcake Class

Last night I taught a Gourmet Cupcake class here in LO. Wine, food, cupcakes, good conversation. It was a great night. I got so involved with the class instruction that I forgot to take pictures. Well. I remembered for a moment and took these two pictures. Here are some ladies learning to fill cupcakes with some salted caramel that we had just made from scratch. We also made buttermilk chocolate cupcakes and salted caramel buttercream to go with that filling. And we made angel food cakelets, from scratch of course! And fresh Oregon strawberry buttercream. Mmm mmm good.

After Spring Break there will be some more adult baking classes. Stay tuned!

Pizza! Pizza!

Today I taught a kids pizza class. The kids made scratch pizza dough, rolled and stretched their crusts, made homemade pizza sauce, and created their own pizza masterpieces. One of the pizzas was actually a nearly perfect replica of Hello Kitty. I was truly impressed. The kids also made ice cream sandwiched from chocolate chip cookies - that they also baked from scratch. It was great fun. There is just something about kids being excited in the kitchen. I love it.

I will be teaching this class again sometime in April, May, and June.
