Cake Decorating Class

I just finished my first Wilton cake decorating class and I know what you are thinking. I do kupcakes, why would I want to learn how to decorate cakes. I hope to eventually do more than just kupcakes and branch into baking and catering. also i did learn somethings i can do with kupcakes like clown kupcakes. i might be taking the 2nd class as long as i don't get a job this week that will interfere with it. Here is some of what we did in class:

Kaylon has redesigned my business cards and will have those ready to hand out soon. they are awesome! I love them. When Kaylon gets home I'll have him show me how to put them up here on the blog. I'm not use to Macs. :)

March Maddness!


Busy month in the world of Kimmie's Kupcakes.

Kaylon's birthday was March 8 and Ali's birthday was March 12th. For Kaylon's Birthday I made Chocolate Malt Kupcakes and for Ali's birthday, I made Funfetti Kupcakes. I would rather not make kupcakes out of a box but she really wanted these. Also I might be getting my first big kupcake client! A bar we go to a lot is being bought out and the opening week for the Springfield Cardinals they are doing a huge week long event and Kaylon was talking to him and he was interested in having me bake some kupcakes for him! So exciting! We gave him a card and he said he would contact me in a week or 2. Different news I will be taking cake decorating classes a week from monday. I haven't learned how to use fondant and make flowers and the basic stuff. Very exciting! Also this will give me a chance to expand later to cakes. :)

Big Game Kupcakes

For the Super Bowl I made stout kupcakes using Guinness. I was a little worried about these at first. Guinness is a beer not a lot of people like. But everyone really seemed to like these. Also part of the reason was because they thought it was kool there was beer in them. :)


I decorated them with the stout glaze and made footballs, saint and colts logos out of milk and white chocolate.

I made 21 standard size and 24 mini kupcakes. and I only was left with a few standard size and no minis.
