123/365 – Cupcake decorating!
Posted by: Liz at 12:21 am, May 4th, 2010
Tonight Laura, Leigh and I went along to a Cupcake Decorating class run by Yogi Johnstone of Sweet Dreams Cakes for Notebook: Magazine’s The Craft Room.
Yogi made it all look so easy. She explained her way through some of her cupcake decorations, showing us all the tips and tricks while we watched in awe.
A pirate!
A baby in a blanket! (Which, to be honest, I find a little creepy).
Yogi making a cat on request. (Awesome).
Then it was our turn to play with the fondant and tools. It was much harder than it looked. We were each given 6 cupcakes and told to go wild.
Here is Leigh and Laura hard at work…
Some all important photo taking…
And my ‘finished’ cupcakes. (Pick the one that Yogi made!)
Let’s not forget the actual 365 photo – Yogi was lovely enough to agree to pose with us and some of her creations and Leigh was lovely enough to take the photo for us.
It was a great night – I’d happily recommend the class to any other cake decorating beginners. The Craft Room courses will be running throughout May, June and (maybe) July, so keep and eye on the website if you’re interested.
Thanks to Laura and Leigh for making it extra entertaining, and of course to Yogi for her patience and sharing some of her talent with the rest of us.

It was a great night, thanks for coming a long (and putting our efforts to shame)
I hope she does some other classes, I would love have another go.
So what are we learning next?
It’s OK, I won’t tell Jarod you dropped his on the ground *shh*

I had SO MUCH FUN.
I’ve been shopping for new supplies.
I have plans for some cupcakes I need to make for work next week.
This could be dangerous ;)
