Last cooking class: Cupcakes, toppers and a souvenir box!

To end up this workshop we taught our students how to decorate "Cupcakes" and how to make cupcake toppers, wrappers and boxes.

First the students prepared buttercream that was later coloured with food colouring paste.

Then we decorated the cupcakes using a Piping Bag. We also used "dulce de leche" to decorate some other cupcakes and used colourful sprinkles to give them a final touch.

After that we learnt how to make a cupcake wrapper. You can find the cupcake wrapper templates by clicking on this link:

The teacher also taught the students a tip on how to put the cupcake in the wrapper by using a small glass.

Finally we cut out some toppers and pinned them on the cupcakes!!!

If you want to make a box to give away the cupcakes as a souvenir, you can have a look at these photos.
