So when an opportunity arose to spend 2 hours learning to improve my cupcake decorating piping skills for a mere £20 each via Time Out vouchers I jumped at the chance.
Held in the upstairs area of Idlewild http://www.idlewildmaidavale.co.uk/ (where we incidently had our dinner - sausages, squid, chips and other munchies - highly recommended), around 20 of us gathered round tight tables, sharing decorations and passing around coloured icing.
We learnt 4 techniques and took away a decent 8 cupcakes to share with friends and family (or to scoff on the way home). Some of them were incredibly basic, and I was a little disappointed not to have learnt more detailed decorating technique (but then again, we had booked onto the 2 hour slot) and i'm sure some of the other classes were more detailed.
My friend and I had a fantastic time and the recipe for the icing was amazing, and i've been using it since on all my cupcakes.
I would definitely recommend a team bonding/friend outing/hen do event with cookie girl.
Book it!
