Leo's free cooking class....


Leo won the April 'followers'  free cooking class and I'm happy to say it went very well.  Although we were a bit strapped for time we managed to get most of the important points covered.  Leo chose to learn about cupcakes, so I took some of the pistachio and cardamom cakes for us to decorate together and we made the best chocolate mudcake cupcakes ever!

Chopping the chocolate
Adding the eggs slowly...TThe finished mudcakesPile up the buttercream first...
then spread it over the cake, smooth off and tidy edges...
 
Or you could pipe the icing...
The finished cupcakes...
We look so serious here, but I promise we really had a lot of fun.  Leo is  a remarkable young man, very focussed and assured with regard to his culinary choices. 
So if the idea of a specialised one on one class excites you...become a follower and go in the draw for May's free class.

  2. I have to admit they are not as beautiful as they could have been, (we were working to a deadline so Leo and his lovely family could get to town for dinner) but they tasted great and give an idea of what can be done quite simply.
