Cupcakes Anyone?

I spent a delightful afternoon at a 'Cupcake Masterclass' yesterday at Cupcake Central in Melbourne Central Shopping Centre.  Together with a friend who also shares a passion for baking, we helped bake vanilla and red velvet cupcakes, create our fondant masterpieces and - my favourite part, pipe mounds of decadent butter cream onto our freshly baked creations.  Not only did they look pretty impressive but they tasted amazingly good.

Sheryl, the owner of Cupcake Central is quite inspirational. She left her life in IT and took a risk to follow her dream and it has paid off with two cafe/bakeries, the other being in Hawthorn.  She uses the finest ingredients she can find and you can certainly tell the difference when you taste her cakes.

So, if you'd like to spend an afternoon learning the fine art of baking and decorating cupcakes and of course come away with eight of your works of art and a beautifully presented case full of everything you will need to bake a dozen Devil's Food Cake cupcakes at home, check out Cupcake Central's website for workshop dates or just stop by and have a coffee and a cupcake or two.
