Every month, Amelia and I go to one of the cupcake classes held by Sweet Designs by Jennie. We always have a fantastic time making cupcakes and chatting. Amelia is fully a teenager, and it’s just so important to have this one on one time with her, where we hang out and connect. Now, normally these classes are very themed to different times of year and holidays, but Buzzy Bees is actually a class that was designed before we started going. We are trying to make them all, so Jennie kindly put it back into the rotation.
Buzzy Bees is a chocolate frosting class, which is probably why we haven’t got around to doing it, as Amelia doesn’t love chocolate. She was excited to have the cupcakes as a gift for some of her friends who she was seeing the next day! We don’t fully eat all of the cupcakes most times, as we eat a lot of frosting and fondant while at the class. (I actually brought mine to a bunch of friends that I was seeing the next day as well!)
Onto the class – Sweet Designs by Jennie does a fantastic job of setting everything up – cupcakes are baked, fondant is colored, all of the little stamps are out. She then walks us through the design as a group of six, with us all chatting and hanging out during it. We had a great time making these bees! The little bees were easy to roll and the stripes were fun to put on. We both really liked putting on the little faces for the bees. Drawing with the edible marker was quite fun too. This class was a good mix of fondant creations and piping skills, which is a lot of fun. I did like making the big flower (it’s been a while since we did those!) and the bee hive was such a strange new thing to create.
I do see why Sweet Designs by Jennie only brings out the Buzzy Bees class from time to time, as it’s a simpler design. She’s got a lot more skills and complexities in her newer classes, but it was very fun to get to play around with this one! I do think that the bees came out so cute, and so did the little flowers and designs.
