This past Sunday along with a couple members of the Sweet Arts of Orange County Cake Club, we spent a special afternoon with Susan Carberry at her store in Murrieta called, The Cake Cottage.
Usually closed on a Sunday, she opened up her doors just for us and gave us 2 demos plus some of her delicious, jumbo-sized and delicious cupcakes to savor...Ya-um!
If you ever get a chance to make it down to Southern California, be sure to stop by her store. It's small but every corner is packed with a bit of everything a cake decorator would love to get their hands on plus more!
The first demo was on how to make a Pansy and an assortment of filler flowers and leaves.
And the second demo was on how to make an assortment of Petit Fours (cutting, dipping and decorating)
It was a fun afternoon spent learning something new, buying a couple new cake decorating goodies I've been wanting to get my hands on, and of course, having a photo op with Susan!
