About Easter Cupcakes, my Grandmother, and Sweet Carolina Bakeshop
Y'all have heard me talk about how my Grandmother and her recipes inspired me to start Sweet Carolina Bakeshop. Well this class is direct extension of that inspiration. Every Easter of my childhood, my Grandmother would make an Easter Bunny cake, complete with big ol' floppy ears, whiskers and a bowtie. In this class we will share that creative spirit with you, in the form of cupcakes. While we aren't limiting your creativity in how you will decorate your cupcakes, we will slip in a few tricks of the trade, gleaned from my Grandmother's kitchen and our years of experience that are sure to make you an Easter cupcake star.

About Sweet Carolina and Mother’s Day
If you’ve followed us for any amount of time, you’ve heard me say many times I owe a large part of my success to my Mother, and my Grandmother. My Mother, a serial entrepreneur and role model. And my Grandmother, a professional grandmother and master cake maker/recipe curator. I can say with absolute certainty, without the influences of these two wonderful women I would not be where I am today – which is usually covered in flour, while baking and frosting cupcakes, running a business and trying to be a Mother myself.
So, it is with no small amount of personal pride we are offering you a way to pay back the Mothers in your life with a little bit of help from us. Join us on May 6, from 6-7, at Sweet Carolina Bakeshop to learn how to create and design a Mother’s Day themed cupcake bouquet, you can even bring your Mother.
