Today was a lot of fun as it was the day of my cupcake class at Prep Kitchen Essentials. We had 13 ladies ready to bake, decorate, and eat their way through tons of yummy cupcakes. It was a tight schedule with lots of things to bake, many cupcakes to frost, and lots of decorations to make. I taught them how to make Vanilla, Chocolate, and Carrot Cake Cupcakes. They also learned how to make Vanilla Buttercream, Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting, Chocolate Ganache Filling, and Peanut Butter Filling.….like I said, it was busy. In addition to cupcakes and frostings, I showed them how to make modeling chocolate roses, use chocolate transfer sheets, texture fondant accents, and pipe flowers. Here are some photos from the fun day!

Since Valentinec’s Day is just around the corner I wanted to post up some directions for fun Valentinef’s Day Cupcakes that everyone can do. First start off by baking up your favorite batch of cupcakes and frostingo…you can find really cute cupcake liners online at the Confectionery House and if you done’t have a favorite cupcake or frosting recipe you can find the most delicious recipes at The Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit. Once your cupcakes have baked and are completely cool and your frosting is prepared you can start. To make these adorable heart cupcakes you need to first buy chocolate transfer sheets, which can be found online at Fancy Flours or American Chocolate Designs.
This basketweave themed chocolate transfer sheet has a great basketweave design on it. It would be a nice design to use on the side of a cake. This basketweave design would also dress up your dipped chocolate. This is a very versatile design. You get one of these 10 x 11 basketweave themed chocolate transfer sheets in black per order. This chocolate transfers nicely to your home made chocolate creations that you make for your friends and family.
