Summer is here and so are the summer parties. And what do you know, last Thursday I was invited to a really cool one at The Vintage Pub!
I was obviously unable to say no to a cupcake event. In fact once I got the invitation I didn’t hear anything past the Childhood theme – they basically had me at “cupcakes”! A Willy Wonka chocolate factory situation was all I could think about!
And as it turns out the club was just as I imagined it to be for this party: candy everywhere, balloons, cupcakes, biscuits, lollipops - every kid’s dream (including me) brought to life.
These were the cupcakes I made/dressed up!
I finally found out how some cupcakes not only taste amazing but also look super pretty! No that this has ever stopped me to eat them! And I didn’t only discover the secrets but I also created a few masterpieces myself.
The lovely ladies from Lidia`s Sweets were kind enough to show us the basics and then left us to go crazy on those cupcakes and biscuits. It was fun and delicious. I couldn’t believe how many creams, powders, colors, forms, brushes and so much more go into creating a good looking cupcake. Best workshop I attended in my life!
And while we were there surrounded by all of the candy, like in fairy land outside the rain was pouring out! It was a nice feeling!
.... meanwhile outside
Bets part of the night - me and my team (Silvia, Oana and Sandra) won the grand price, a chocolate and strawberry cake that was beyond delicious.
Long story short - this contest opened up my eyes and if my current career doesn’t pan out I have something to land on - I’m going to be a grand pastry chef.
What do you think? Do I have the gift or not?
