Sur la Table has been sponsoring us at cooking classes in their Culinary Schools across the country. We have such a great time at the classes because the students always have a great time. We get everyone from beginners to certified Wilton decorating instructors, and they all come away with a big smile on their face. In the classes Karen does a demo of each cupcake project and then it is the students' turn to make a cupcake masterpiece. To get an idea just how much fun cupcaking can be take a look at some photos from a recent class in Manhasset on New York's Long Island.

Below (l to r) Stefanie's pup is sitting pretty in a makeshift doggie bed. Tara and Aunt Denise show off their shark. And Meredith promises that all three kids are getting pupcakes for their birthdays this year!



Below (l to r) Our favorite cooking teacher Natalie has a mighty firm grip on the frosting bag! Vicki has perfect ziplock piping technique and a perfectly ferocious looking shark. That's Lorette's sweet sleeping baby at the end of the evening.


We had so much fun so all we can say is...

Keep on cupcaking!
Alan and Karen
