Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this cupcake class:

Join us for an afternoon of flowers and frosting! 

Each guest receives 8 cupcakes and two frosting bags filled with different colored Butter Creams. Other supplies will litter the workstations to be shared around. 

For your first set of four cupcakes, your instructor will walk you through four floral techniques (Sunflowers, Roses, Zinnias and a wildcard) and the class will move through each as a group. For the second set of four cupcakes, we'll see if you can do it again with no (or less) help.

The cupcakes are of course yours to take home (or eat on the spot), but the messy equipment stays behind. Visit the front of the bakery if you'd like to purchase your own set of decorating supplies after the class.

    This class was so much fun. I had zero experience in decorating cakes cupcakes etc. Instructor went at a good pace and demonstrated many different techniques. I learned a lot in a short amount of time and can't wait to use my new skills on my own cupcakes.

    The instructor was good but the space was small. Not sure the content taught was worth the price.

    I enjoyed the class. It was fun and the instructor was helpful. I like that we were able to practice the different techniques. I would suggest having the instructor create a design for one of our cupcakes that we would need to try. Other than that, it was a very great class. I enjoyed it.

    the class was a bit small, not much room to be comfy so not worth the money spent BUT was very fun and enjoyable considering the circumstances.

    The teacher at Butter Lane, Olivia, was great--enthusiastic and knowledgeable. However, while the shop had AC, it simply wasn't cool enough in the store, and in addition to being uncomfortably warm, the buttercream suffered--it got very oily-looking and melty. By the time we got around to decorating our cupcakes (six of them :-), the frosting looked really unappealing. In fact I think we would all have preferred fresh frosting at that point. I'd strongly recommend avoiding this class during the summer.

    This class left a bad taste in my mouth. I had prepaid spot reserved. My subway line was having issues so I arrived a little late, about 10 minutes. I admit that arriving late isn't great, but they ended up giving away my spot prior to my arrival! I got no call, and since I already paid, they should not have given it away. When I arrived, the teacher became flustered. She set up a stool, that was too high for the table and made my knees bump into the table, and disappeared for 15minutes to get my supplies. I think she was actually making the frosting for the cupcakes. This deprived others students of about 15 minutes of instruction. It didn't matter anyway, as the class did not require the entire 2 hours. I wish she had taught more about decorating. For instance, she did not show up how to put frosting on the cake so it would be smooth or do anything very advanced. Overall, a disappointing class.

    This class provided a great introduction to cupcake decorating! The instructor was extremely thorough and took the time to help everyone perfect their technique using the various frosting tips. In this course we learned how to color the frosting, write our name and create leaves, rosettes, daisies, shell borders, stripes, and basket weaves. It was a fun and entertaining class, and I highly recommend it!
