Cupcakes are the Devil

72 Comments

This post is brought to you by Thanksgiving Point.

Last month I was invited to Thanksgiving Point to take a cooking class entirely devoted to cupcakes. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to attend as my sweet tooth has completely disappeared, but I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to a) get out of the house, b) socialize without Penelope and c) learn how to make something pretty. I’m so glad I went.

We learned how to make some delicious cupcakes and learned a few essential cooking tips along the way. Just look at how gorgeous these cupcakes are!!

Um, my birthday is coming up, does anyone want to buy me a bunch of these cupcake stands? I love these little guys! Gosh, I think I’d eat breakfast, lunch & dinner off them. They’re so adorable.

I think these oreo cupcakes were Chris’s favorite, but my favorite was the coconut cupcake with marshmallow frosting (not pictured – maybe I lied about my sweet tooth?). That one was delicious.

This quote definitely sums up my feelings towards everything sweet, particularly cupcakes.

      I’m a non-Utahite. You just made me lick my computer screen that frosting looks so good.

      And while I would love love love to learn how to make it, that little frame would be the next best consolation prize.
