Sur la Table Spring Cupcakes

We had a great class this past weekend with a menu of Spring cupcakes. All the cupcakes tasted great but what I loved about this class was the added focus on decorating using edible flowers and fondant. Such great techniques to use on cakes for Mother’s Day and the coming wedding season.

More of What's New Cupcake?

I knew if I were to spend all my class time getting perfect shots of the cupcakes I would never leave. Luckily the cupcakes remained in tact on the way home and I did a photo session when I got back to capture the cuteness in better light. Here are some of my shots.

Cal Bears Cupcakes

What a season for the Cal Bears. Even though it hasn’t turned out as we had hoped, that wasn’t stopping me from my cupcakes.
