Cupcake Couture Contest

Yay! A cake supply shop located at the east side of Toronto! I just had to pick up a few items during my visit to Flour Confections:

Oh, it was just a few piping tips, piping bags... Honestly, they had a great collection of gum paste and fondant cutters. I didn't plan on getting any, but then I saw all these flower cutters and couldn't resist picking up the petunia set. (Next time, the dogwood flower set!) These little sizes are perfect for cupcake and cake decorating. I also got dark cupcake liners! And just look at those display cakes:

Now, I have really, really good news. I hope that you are free on Sunday, February 21, 2010! If not... you might want to look into clearing your schedule for that day...

Why you ask?

Well, on that day, from 1:00-4:00pm, you could be learning how to make and decorate cupcakes at Flour Confections: Confectionery School & Shoppe! Are you EXCITED yet?
