Finally we are decorating cupcakes! So many ideas, so little time. The buttercream they made yesterday was beautiful, but so fragile. A few minutes in the piping bag with hands on and it was turning soft. We had to work fast. Sugared flowers were the favourite.
My kitchen will never be the same! Blue and chocolate icing in my hardwood floors, sugar here and there and 'who knows what' in my fridge!
It was an intense couple of hours and the gang was ready for a little break.
Silly faces!
Happy conversation!
Laughter!
And Greek Salad for lunch. Only 2 more days...sigh! It is exhausting (washing aprons and tablecloths every night, setting out the mise en place) but so much fun. My house will be so quiet when they have finished.
See you tomorrow!
Oh Sarah! It looks fabulous..you are helping to create such lovely memories for these young girls and hopefully give them a life long love of cooking & baking! If I lived closer, I would come over and help you do clean up! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, this is so amazing! Look at their works of art!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun they're having, Sarah! And sounds like you too!
ReplyDeleteDay 3 of so cute:) I have loved these posts.
ReplyDeleteAll of my birthday cakes are frosted and decorated with buttercream frosting. I take little bowls, color them, and chill to it will be a little easier to decorate - not a lot, just a little. I think you have to have a shortening base for frosting to hold its shape well, but then you sacrifice flavor....
ReplyDeleteGlad the girls are having such fun!
I just caught up with your kids cooking camp posts ~ how fun is that Sarah! And look at your beautiful kitchen! I think you are making a difference in these sweet young lives. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHave a super weekend ~ looks like we are in for some lovely weather!
