Workshop

Garden Cupcake Baking & Decorating

23 Jul 2023

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Together, we will bake bright, organic lemon cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, and decorate them with edible flowers and herbs! Along the way, we will learn about basic baking skills and helpful techniques.We will learn about common edible plants and flowers, how and why we use them, the benefits of eating and working with them, and the deep role that Earth's seasons hold. Each student will take home 6 cupcakes to enjoy!

Natalie is a self taught baker, gardener, and mother. She is deeply inspired by nature and its seasons and cycles. She started a custom cake business out of her home kitchen a few years ago, crafting garden cakes using organic ingredients, seasonal produce, flowers and herbs. This small business grew into a full time career, specializing in garden cakes for events: weddings, birthdays, baby showers etc. Each cake is unique and carefully crafted, as is every garden. Natalie believes that baking is about combining magical, earthly ingredients into a potion, then adding heat, time, and love to create the most divine treats imaginable.

Cost: $25 - First Come First Serve - Limited to 12 Spaces
