Giant Cupcake Course

Description:

Introducing the cupcake’s big sister! An inspiring course for those wanting to take their skills to the next level. Learn how to create an effective and smart looking giant cupcake with all the trimmings in this stylish rosebud or butterfly design – you choose on the day!

You will learn both baking and icing techniques, and will be offered a choice of flavours and colour schemes for your own cake to take home, all pretty and boxed up in one of our special giant cupcake window boxes.

Giant cupcakes are great for the birthdays too, and on this course you will also learn how to professionally cover a cake board, as well as how to create complimentary lettering to personalise your cake with your own message.
