Colorful Cupcakes

At last, I was able to decorate on real cupcakes today. For the past 3 classes, I've been mostly working on parchment paper. Cupcakes are easy to decorate. It only becomes cumbersome to transport them from one place to another. I took several photos of the cupcakes I did and should anyone of you be interested to have me supply you with decorated cupcakes or cakes in any of your future events (birthdays, anniversaries, christening, weddings, Christmas, Valentines), I'd be glad to do so. :-) After my basic cake decorating class, I will also be enrolling in another course for fondant and gum paste as I'd like to advance my level of skills. (Di ba? Perfectionist talaga? Hahaha.)

For more information about the schedule of classes at the Sylvia Reynoso Gala Culinary Arts Studio, visit http://www.sylviareynosogala.com/class.php. Aside from cake decorating, they also offer other culinary and baking classes. It's definitely worth it.

My rosettes and apple blossom.

I've perfected the lattice.

A rosebud.

Basket of flowers.

Cornelli lace on top of my cupcake. It's a very simple decoration yet I love how classy it looks.

Grapes on top. These are not made of icing but I used marzipan. It's like clay where I can mold it and just make anything I want to shape. After I've put the grapes together, I had to paint it.
