Cocktails and Cake Decorating
Last night I hosted a Cocktails and Cake Decorating Class at The Baker's Table in Lancaster, PA. This hip new bakery was the perfect place for a Girl's Night Out. I remember the first time I stopped in. I took one look at the large communal table and collection of antique baking tools that decorate the room and I knew this was a place I would visit often. The casual but creatively arranged space makes a great backdrop for so many events. I held my daughter's bridal shower at The Baker's Table in February and once that was over, I suddenly felt the urge to throw another party (this happens often) so I decided a cake decorating class would be next on the list. It was a fantastic night full of great food, lots of laughs and a whole lot of buttercream! It was so much fun, I thought I would share some of it with you! Happy Friday!
Attention to detail is so important and The Baker's Table excels at it. Everything from drinks to food was beautifully arranged. It's one of the things I love about this place!
A wonderful selection of hors d'oeuvres including Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and Foccacia Pizza were on the menu.
Sparkling wine in a can? This Sofia Blanc de Blanc Mini is the cutest thing I've ever seen on a cocktail menu!
Executive Chef Tammy Hurley led the decorating class and taught us how to frost and decorate a cake with basic buttercream. I am blown away by her talent!
She makes it look so easy!
Tammy also shared her secrets on decorating with melted chocolate.
Each guest had the chance to test their skills on their own cake.
Bags filled with frosting and decorating tips were available to try the different designs on our cakes.
Beautifully decorated cakes were placed on the table to guide and inspire us.
After my first swirl, I thought this was going to be easy.
After a few more swirls, I realized it was not easy and I gained even more respect for Tammy!
Getting together with good friends was so much fun. There were lots of laughs as we frosted our way through this class.
Having my mother and two of my daughters at the event was really special. I love making memories with them.
These are a few of the finished cakes. I'd say there are some talented cake decorators out there!
The Cocktails and Cake Decorating Class was a blast and I can't wait to do it again! Whenever you bring great people, cool places and fun ideas together, it's bound to be a wonderful event! Maybe we'll see you at the next one! Have a wonderful weekend!
