If you follow regularly you may remember me mentioning that I was booked onto a cupcake decorating class in nearby Didsbury with And The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon.  The photos from the evening have been just been published on Facebook so thought I’d share a few (that’s me and my friend Jen showing off our cakes).

This was a totally fun evening and I would highly recommend doing this as a hen party alternative to wearing mini skirts, “L” plates and getting pissed.  Although I’m sure you could still wear the mini skirt and “L” plates if you like.  Here’s those all important details on some of the fab businesses who can organise cupcake decorating hen parties.

That’s me concentrating very hard as I pipe my first cupcake – I put my piping skills to good use on the weekend siliconing the gap around our front windows!  And below are some of the pretty sugar butterflies we all made, drying out ready to go on our cupcakes.

If you were to have a cupcake decorating hen party, one of the best things would be that the next morning rather than having a hangover you’d just have a tin full of delicious cakes to munch your way through.
