what's new, cupcake?

Pam and I signed up for What's New, Cupcake with Chef Mimi Pass last Saturday. I've taken several classes at Sur La Table and this one has been my favorite thus far.

We learned how to decorate All Cracked Up, Mum's the Word, Rubbery Ducky, and Pie cupcakes. The hands-on, interactive class was very helpful with the provided decorations and techniques.

The authors of Hello, Cupcake are back, this time with a simpler recipe cupcake book called What's New, Cupcake? I've purchased the book after taking the class. The decorating techniques were simple and fun. Even though labor intensive, it was worthwhile to see the results. 

The mum cupcakes were my favorite. My neighbor's daughter, Daniella, celebrated her birthday and the mum cupcakes made her smile. Like I said, worthwhile.
