Cupcakes are the Devil

72 Comments

This post is brought to you by Thanksgiving Point.

Last month I was invited to Thanksgiving Point to take a cooking class entirely devoted to cupcakes. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to attend as my sweet tooth has completely disappeared, but I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to a) get out of the house, b) socialize without Penelope and c) learn how to make something pretty. I’m so glad I went.

We learned how to make some delicious cupcakes and learned a few essential cooking tips along the way. Just look at how gorgeous these cupcakes are!!

Um, my birthday is coming up, does anyone want to buy me a bunch of these cupcake stands? I love these little guys! Gosh, I think I’d eat breakfast, lunch & dinner off them. They’re so adorable.

I think these oreo cupcakes were Chris’s favorite, but my favorite was the coconut cupcake with marshmallow frosting (not pictured – maybe I lied about my sweet tooth?). That one was delicious.

This quote definitely sums up my feelings towards everything sweet, particularly cupcakes.

      I recently jumped on the cupcake baking bandwagon and I’m digging this post!!! Sadly, I don’t live in Utah and although I would love to just drive on down there from my home in Oregon, I’ve got a classroom full of kiddos I need to teach! Anyway, I’m a BIG fan of your sweet little sign which would be the perfect addition to my kitchen!

      P.S. I’m jealous of your blog! It’s inspired me to be more creative and was pure luck that I even found it!

      I love that cupcake sign! Where did you learn calligraphy? I don’t live in Utah. But I’m from there and I love everything about Thanksgiving Point! Such an awesome place. I would love to be put in the drawing for the cupcake sign.

    7. I’m only 20 minutes from Thanksgiving Point and ALWAYS want to go take a class. Since I didn’t see the cupcake class come up I would pick the bread in 5 minutes a day since I love making bread but hate the time commitment.

    13. I am here in good ol’ Salt Lake City – Sugar House to be specific. I love the Thanksgiving Point classes and The Finishing School classes so I am thrilled to see this giveaway.

      The class I would love to win at TP right now is the Fall Fiesta with Sara (but it’s full) or the Country living with Sara.

      Thanks!

      Yay, a giveaway!

      Cupcakes are TOTALLY the devil. I can’t seem to stop at just one, especially spice cake ones. YUM.

      I don’t live in Utah (Personally, I don’t think my body could handle the cold), but I am definitely hoping and wishing for that cupcake print.

      And speaking of those adorable cupcake stands, this one is simply fantastic: http://www.etsy.com/listing/51489523/bird-cupcake-ceramic-stand-in-vintage

      Too bad I would never pay almost $40 for one. Here’s hoping that my local Goodwill or Salvation Army has some in stock (A girl can dream, right?)!

      Thank you for the giveaway! ;D
