Class Experience

*Cupcake batter and buttercream will be made from scratch. However, unicorn toppings will not be made in class. Unicorn decorations (horn & ears) can be bought separately and be completed for homework or in class*

Students will be taught how to mix dry and wet ingredients to make a chocolate cupcake batter. They will also make Swiss buttercream frosting from scratch. Once cupcakes are baked, we will decorate them and make them look like magical unicorns. I will guide students step by step and provide support and guidance as needed. Students can expect me to demonstrate first and they can follow along. Baking doesn't have to be difficult, this recipe is super simple to follow along and is great for beginners.
No experience required.

What are you waiting for? let's get baking!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Baking is one of my passions! I love baking pastries on my spare time. I have taught myself how to bake by practicing and watching  shows and would love to teach young learners how to bake while having fun in the classroom.
