This class is taught live. We'll bake our cupcakes together from start to finish! Then we will decorate them! Learners will get to interact with myself and the others throughout the class. It will be educational, fun and social! Plus, after class is over, you'll have almost 40 gorgeous and delicious mini confetti Funfetti sprinkle cupcakes to share! There will be a break when the cupcakes go in the oven and a break after they come out to cool. Then we will resume class to frost and decorate them! There will be discussions about baking and we will get to know about each other with different questions. There is no required experience or knowledge learners need. All you need to do is come to class prepared with your ingredients, measuring supplies and kitchen equipment ready to go! We'll measure everything all together in class! Baking is a fun hobby and with these top-notch cupcakes, you won't be disappointed!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of baking and about each ingredient, such as the secret ingredient in this recipe; sour cream!
They'll leave this class knowing why we are using it and what it does for the cupcakes. We'll learn how all of the ingredients work together to make a cupcake! Students will learn a recipe that they can make over and over again, and are perfect for birthday parties! When you attend or have a party, need to give a gift, fundraise, etc., it's really convenient to have some go-to, never fail recipes that you can rely on that everyone loves, and this is one of them!
A mini cupcake can cost quite a bit of money if you get it at a bakery, so you'll be saving a lot by making them yourself; and they taste just as good, if not better!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Jaclyn and I love baking, theater, playing my flute, dancing, doing art projects and more! I live with my husband, 2 dogs, cat and turtle in Palm Beach County, Florida. We love going to the beach, walking the dogs, grilling, riding our bicycles and of course, baking together!
I have many passions in life, such as making delicious food and sharing it with the special people in my life, playing the flute for people, doing art projects and giving them as gifts or using them as decorations for myself and dancing! When you put your heart into making a dish, hand crafted present or performing a perfect song and nailing every note, and people love it, you can't help but feel amazing about yourself! Sharing your food, art and music are ways to show your love, skills, and artistic abilities! My late father taught me to always follow my passion and do what I love; so that's what I do!
I owned a cottage food bakery business where I sold my baked goods at green markets in Florida, so of course we'll be making some scrumptious baked goods! I earned academic scholarships to Fairleigh Dickinson University, studying Hospitality, which included a study abroad in Italy where I learned all about preparing exquisite food. Cooking classes were part of our curriculum and it took my love of food to a whole new level!
I was a Professional Organizer for 8-years, running a company called Tip Top Organizing. I worked with kids as young as 4-years old, and adults, to get them organized in their homes. I've always loved being organized and helping kids and adults feel in control of their space. After doing that for 8-years, I made the switch to virtual teaching.
I love teaching kids how to prepare food for themselves and others in a fun and exciting way. It helps them develop confidence in the kitchen. I have my TESOL and I've been an online English teacher with VIPKid since 2017 where I teach students in China during the early morning hours. I grew up doing theater, art projects, cooking, playing the flute, being an honor student, competition cheerleader and cheerleading captain. I'm enthusiastic, motivational, happy, energetic and fun! I can't wait to see you in the classroom!
*****I am available to teach virtual baking birthday parties! Send me a message and we'll set up the day, time and which class you'd like! You'll have a private link that only you and the attendees will see for your own event page! ****
