Cake your Day

My 5 and 10yr old boys were very excited when I informed them we would be attending the Cupcake workshop today which Emma runs in Farnham.

On arrival there was a little area set up for younger siblings, which entertained the 2yr old.

The children that were taking part in the workshop all popped on the aprons provided.

Emma gave the children a little bit of instruction on how to use the moulds and cutters. The children were give 30mins to create around 12 cupcake toppers.

There was a selection of icing colours, moulds, cutters to choose from.

I was worried my 5yr old would struggle to understand using the moulds, however he loved the opportunity, and followed the instructions carefully. The children were given the freedom to experiment, and assistance was never pushed onto the children, but was available when asked.

I was expecting the buttercream to be an explosion, however the children did really well, Emma explained carefully how to use the icing bags, so the children understood exactly what to do.

Once butter cream had been applied (also in a range of colours), sprinkles were added, and then the toppers the children had made were placed artistically on top.

The cakes looked and tasted amazing. The biggest challenge was getting the children to wait until we got home to eat them.
