I looked at my life one day, and asked myself where my happiness lies...this is a deep question with a not so deep answer. CUPCAKES!! I have recently found a love for baking. Especially gluten-free baking, my husband is gluten intolerant which can have it's difficulties. I am always on the run for new ideas and decorating cupcakes. So I decided to start my at-home cupcake business. It's in the works, but I hope to keep working to make it better and build my exposure.

Cupcake 101 Class
On 9/4 I attended a class at the Kansas City Culinary Center. It was my first class, and it was fun. I learned some pointers and good suppliers in the area. There were chips and dips to snack on before the class started. They also provided a glass of wine to everyone. We started with using a recipe the teacher provided and were in groups of 4. We used KitchenAid mixers, and I loved it. Too bad they are so pricey, but I'm keeping my eye out for sales this holiday season. Our cupcakes turned out fine, and we were able to play with fondant and learn some icing techniques. The teacher was awesome in letting us do our own thing.
Some pictured of decorating techniques I learned. It's supposed to be a flower. I'm hoping with practice it will look better. Plus, I need to get the gel food coloring. I have the tiny liquid bottles and the gel is much more vibrant.
