As well as me and Suzie, 5 other ladies joined us including Louise who writes a food blog Comida yVida. We all sat round a table full of cutters, gel colourings, spatulas, rollers and sprinkles in every shape, size and colour you could imagine.
We learnt about sugar paste and we able to use different gel colours to create beautiful shapes from the dozens of cutters she had. (Sarah had made a purple sprinkles section for me to sit next to!) These were mine and Suzie's creations.
Sarah taught us how to make the best tasting fondant and butter cream icing and then how to create perfect peaks and rose swirls.
We each had 12 cupcakes to decorate with our icing, sugar shapes and sprinkles. It was so much fun! We even had the chance to fill our cupcakes with a chocolate ganache Sarah had made earlier, yum!
Look how proud we are!

Suzie's...
You'll see Suzie perfected the rose swirl, a lot better than my attempts! We had such a fun time and I would definitely recommend a workshop to anyone who loves cupcakes and baking.
Suzie and I also left with a cupcake decorating kit, which includes loads of goodies needed to recreate these decorations at home. You can buy these online or when you attend one of these workshops.
Thank you Sarah for being a wonderful host and teacher... I want to do it all again!!
That looks cool, I love your purple flowers!
