Introducing Cake Decorating Parties at Whipped Bakeshop

So if any of you follow us on the Twitters, you know that we recently started offering cake decorating parties, and if you follow us on Facebook, not only do you know of these magical cake parties, but you’ve actually seen the pictures from our most recent one. Well done, social media friends, well done. But if you don’t follow us on social media, we have news for you: Whipped Bakeshop is now offering cake decorating parties! What does this mean? This means that your next event could be here at the shop decorating your very own cake with some help from us, the official Whipped Bakeshop employees. Aren’t you lucky? Yes. Our most recent event was a Sweet 16 party in which the young ladies were given 4” mini cakes to decorate. (Feel free to talk to your own mini cake in whatever high-pitched squeaky voice you have reserved for tiny cute things that overload your cuteness senses.) Armed with some quick lessons on basic cake decorating techniques, a fun selection of royal icing colors, fondant colors and dreams of greatness, the ladies dazzled us with their creativity.

This you could be YOU!
