Sweet Corner Experience

    For LEAP 2k12 (Lasallian Enrichment Alternative Program), I chose Sweet Corner to be my class because it was about designing cupcakes! It was facilitated by the CATCH2T13 batch government and held at Gokongwei Hall Room 201.


I was with Riezl Payawal and Din Tianzon for this class.
Icing, Cream, and Powdered Sugar
Ingredients for Icing:
1. Powdered Sugar
2. Cream
3. Food Coloring
4. Vanilla Extract (optional)

How to do the Icing:
1.) Mix 2 tablespoons of Powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of cream. This is already enough for one cupcake. Just add more cream and powdered sugar for more icing.
2.) Mix it well until the mixture becomes thick. You can test it by turning your bowl upside down, and if the mixture doesn't fall easily, then your icing has the right consistency. 
3.) Add food coloring for the desired color, then mix again.
4.) You may want to add a drop of vanilla for more flavor. 
5.) Spread it on top of your cupcake! Enjoy!

Cookie Monster and a flower!
    We were given two (2) cupcakes each. Riezl designed the cookie monster cupcake and the flower was more of a team effort. These two cupcakes won in the cupcake contest. I'm really proud of the flower cupcake because I was the one who placed the petals in that manner.

Just some of our experiment cupcakes

    We also had fail cupcakes. We didn't really have any good ideas on what to put in our cupcakes, so we just experimented. I was supposed to make a beach cupcake, but it wasn't good enough. Despite the fail cupcakes we did, I really enjoyed this class. I was being artistic while eating.
