Cupcake Lessons

 Stephanie, a fellow embassy spouse and professional baker, shared her tips and secrets for making cupcakes a few weeks ago.  Thank you to Luidmila for the photos!  I learned a lot from observation, but I didn't really get much in the way of hands on practice.  It wasn't Stephanie's fault.  One lady brought her nine year old, who monopolized every part of the process.  It meant that the rest of us got imposed with a nine year old's sensibility of style.  I learned later that children weren't supposed to be there, but it's nearly impossible to be nice and to turn away a child at the door.  

I've practiced some with my own Wilton tips later and have had some good results.
