*This is a review for a private cupcake decorating class*
We had a bachelorette party in Baltimore so I decided to look up how to legally get inside Charm City Cakes ! Turns out they do private events - YAY! Thankfully the bride is a BIG baker (and fan of Ace lo Cakes)!! We had a Saturday appointment for 4pm - and I couldn't wait!
We arrived a couple minutes before 4pm, and we were welcomed with open arms to look around the bakery, and open up our wines to start drinking - did I mention it's BYOB??!
We lucked out and Joanna - actually the General Manager for the store - was our cupcake designing director! Evidently she doesn't typically do classes, but fortunately for us, because she was AWESOME!
We had 2 hours to choose our own adventure so-to-speak. Joanna was amazing, and walked us through each design. She let our bride dictate which cupcakes we did, starting off with the champagne glass, then the bride, then groom! For our last cupcake she let up choose our own, all the while walking around and proving tips/coaching for anyone who's struggling.
While the cupcake class was super fun, one of the most fun things was being in the bakery, and getting to ask Joanna all sorts of questions about cake life! I've been a fan of the show since its' inception (pre-dating all the cake boss nonsense) and fan girl-ed HARD about being there IRL! They provide you with boxes to take home your creations, I my husband and I got around to trying one a few days later, and even then, they tasted pretty great!
Definitely schedule a cupcake class if you have the opportunity - one of the cooler culinary things I've had the opportunity to do!
