Beginner-friendly cupcake decorating workshop to learn fondant modelling and buttercream piping for Christmas.
Meet Me at Mabel's is running a Christmas Cupcakes workshop on Sunday 13 December, from 14:00 to 16:30. It's a two-and-a-half-hour session in the heart of St Albans, and you'll walk away with six festive cupcakes you've decorated yourself.
The session covers three distinct skills. First, you'll learn to colour and model fondant, which is the sugar paste used to make the little figures and shapes that sit on top. Then there's the buttercream, and you'll be taught how to pipe it — that's the part where you squeeze it through a nozzle to get a proper swirl rather than just smoothing it on with a knife. Between the two, you'll put together six cupcakes, so there's plenty of practice in one go.
It's designed for complete beginners, so you don't need to have picked up a piping bag before. The whole point is to learn the basics from scratch, and you'll have the afternoon to get comfortable with it. If you've never worked with fondant or buttercream, this is a straightforward way to start.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in St Albans and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.
