What You Will Make
The class combines baking and art. You discover how to craft delicate buttercream flowers, from soft rosettes to layered petals, and how to arrange them elegantly on your cupcakes so they come together as a stunning bouquet. You work with quality ingredients and professional tools, mixing colors until the palette looks just right. Because every guest colors their own frosting, no two bouquets look alike, and the finished arrangement makes a thoughtful handmade gift for someone you love.
Recent guests say the instructors were kind, patient and explained everything clearly, and that their favorite part was watching the bouquet come together at the end. You leave with new skills, a lovely bouquet of floral cupcakes and a centerpiece that tastes as good as it looks.
Why It Works for Groups
Piping flowers is a calm, focused skill that everyone can learn in one sitting, and the bouquet format gives each guest a finished piece to show off. That makes the class one of the more rewarding creative team building activities and a sweet twist on crafty team building activities, with no paint or glue in sight. Private groups of 4 to 30 guests fit the studio, so it works for team building activities for small groups or a larger celebration.
The class is great for a birthday or a bachelorette party, and it makes a creative gift for her or a gift for mom. As holiday team building activities go, a cupcake bouquet is a festive way to mark a Christmas party or a gathering for mom, and every guest leaves with a treat to share at home.
