Last week was our first week of "summer school," which we call S.O.F.A. around here! S.O.F.A. = Summer of Fun Activities, and there are many activities for kids of all ages to try. Sports, crafts, computers, fencing - it's a great program. My sister and I have been teaching cupcake and cake decorating for the last few years, and we include other treats in the class. We introduce the importance (and simplicity!) of homemade buttercream and homemade fondant, and my sister teaches the kids how to frost a cake and cupcake correctly. I'm still learning that skill! This year we had an older group of kids; most were going into 6th or 7th grade, and they were a very easy group to work with. Check out the photos and prepare to be impressed!
They are: 1) a campfire and camper in a sleeping bag; 2) candy sushi; 3) on-the-grill cupcakes; 4) patriotic donuts; 5) s'more on a stick along with dipped marshmallow on a stick; and 6) a traditional s'more on a stick.
