Cake & Cookie Decorating Camp with Grace:  June Edition

6/29/2019

0 Comments

 
My 16-year-old daughter, Grace, led 8 lovely girls on a sweet adventure of learning how to use decorator tips, frost a cake with a crumb coat, get a rainbow effect in the cake layers, work with royal frosting, and more!  She even arranged a little Cake Boss-style contest for the "Top Ice Cream Cake,"  for which our neighbor came to judge.  A Flapdoodles gift card was awarded to Kelsey Dickie, and all the girls enjoyed some Flapdoodles ice cream at the end!

Day 1:  Galaxy-themed cupcakes and cookies, with triple color bagged frosting on the cupcakes and swirled royal frosting on the cookies
Day 2:  Animal-themed cupcakes
Day 3:  Succulent-themed cupcakes
Day 4:  Cake prep with cake leveling, rainbow frosting filling,  and crumb coat and flower cookies
Day 5:  Dropped Ice-cream cone cake with chocolate ganache drips, rainbow filling, decorative border, and cake ball with a sugar cone on top
For those of you in the camp, here are links to her frosting recipes:

Cream cheese frosting for the cupcakes
Buttercream frosting for the cake
For the royal frosting on the cookies, she used a royal icing powder mix from Walmart

​Here are photo highlights from the week!
