Hen Party Vintage Cupcake Class

Hello!

I held another lovely hen party at the weekend, well I actually run them every weekend but I don't always take photographs. I thought I would this time as everyone dressed up in their finest vintage, both the bride to be and her best friend had on their grandma's dresses from the 50s and they looked gorgeous!







They all spent the afternoon sipping champagne from vintage teacups and enjoyed a full afternoon tea whilst listening to Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and Nina Simone amongst others! They came away with 9 beautifully decorated vanilla cupcakes which I was told went down very well during the rest of their hen weekend.




Lucy, the bride to be is hiring my vintage teapots to fill with flowers at her wedding and my teacups will be filled with old fashioned sweets, cant wait to see the photos.







We wish you a beautiful wedding day Lucy!

This workshop was a vintage inspired cupcake decorating workshop; the ladies decorated 9 cupcake each both vanilla and chocolate. They used buttercream piping techniques and learnt how to pipe with royal icing to create beautiful vintage designs. To decorate their cakes they learnt how to make sugar roses, teapots and teacups as well as how to use lots of different cutters and get the best look from them with lots of tips and advice.

Hen party ideas

Cupcake decorating with a vintage afternoon tea is a very lovely and might I add very civilised way to spend your hen party. This group of ladies organised their hen do in record time but it all went very well indeed! The champagne was flowing, one of the ladies even brought her homemade Elderflower champers along for everyone to enjoy. There was lots of tea and cakes piled up on pretty vintage cake stands. The room looked gorgeous and then the icing sugar and edible glitter were opened and every where was covered! If you don't get covered in buttercream and icing sugar whilst doing this workshop then you haven't worked hard enough quite frankly!

I held this particular workshop at a beautiful place called New Farm, it is owned and run by Chris who is a top chef. It is a unique barn conversion on the rural border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire. They offer exclusive private dining and also provide external catering to stately homes and other venues.





I had such a nice day teaching these ladies and I must say they produced some amazing designs; none of them have ever done it before either so I was very impressed! I ran a little competition for the best decorated cupcakes and you can see the winner pictured here. They won a little teacup and saucer candle from Kate Aspen Uk.
