Taste Of Asia Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Taste Of Asia Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on by Jupiter

Every month Amelia and I go along to a cupcake class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie, who keeps coming up with new designs! Amelia and I really love having a little time once a month, that’s just the two of us! But, for this class (and the next one) Amelia has invited along some friends as it’s nearing the end of the school year and we have such a packed summer. (Plus, Jennie is taking the summer off, so we wanted to get some extra cupcake designing in.) The Taste of Asian Cupcake Class is a new one, with designs all around slightly Asian themes.

Exploring Alfred Z. Solomon Grassland Bird Trail

Exploring Alfred Z. Solomon Grassland Bird Trail

I got a new lens for my camera while in America, as I really do love taking pictures and I have had a lot of free-time when it comes to my day to day in America. After getting the lens and spending a few days tinkering around with it, my cousin had suggested going to the Alfred Z. Solomon Grassland Bird Trail, which is near where he works. So, we went along one extremely sunny day hoping to catch some birds!

Seeing all of the vintage rides at Horton's Steam Fair

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to fairs, we’ve been to quite a few, including a steam fair a few years back. We were pretty excited to go along to a similar one, to see all of the rides and games. Horton’s Steam Fair feels like you’ve travelled back in time, full of historical, restored vintage rides and stalls.

Seeing the Mountains from above with Sunkiss Ballooning

Seeing the Mountains from above with Sunkiss Ballooning

[Ad- gifted experience] Growing up in the Adirondacks, I have always seen balloons floating about, over the mountains. Dann and I have also taken our children to a few different balloon festivals in the United Kingdom, including the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, but none of us have ever ridden in the basket of a hot air balloon that has left the ground. So, Dann and I were extremely excited to get a private tour of the beautiful mountain tops in a hot air balloon with Sunkiss Ballooning.

Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I carve out some time to do a cupcake class. We’ve been doing this for well over a year now. It’s just such a lovely way to have one-on-one time with Amelia, and alongside that, we’ve become friends with a lot of the other regulars there and love doing little updates on our lives. Sweet Designs by Jennie is always creating new classes and designs, so there is always something new for us to look forward to creating. This was doubly so when she announced her new Bento Box Cupcake Classes, which have a few cupcakes along with a mini-cake within the box that we also got to decorate. This one was the Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class!
