We are excited to announce the launch of our holiday cupcake decorating series with our owner, Jennifer Shea, to be held in the Trophy Party Room at Wallingford Center! This will be a series of fun filled nights with hands on decorating instruction in a party atmosphere that will include Prosecco, Trophy cupcakes and yummy hors d'oeuvres provided by Whole Foods. The dates for our classes, which are geared toward those at the beginners level, are set for Wednesday, Oct. 19, Thursday, Nov. 17, and Thursday, Dec. 1 from 6-7:30 p.m.

Guests in our classes will learn the basics of using pastry bags and tips, how to create professional looking cupcakes, how to make custom colors of sparkly sanding sugar and the tricks of the trade that make Trophy’s Cupcakes so beautiful. In addition to receiving cupcake decorating instruction from Jennifer and her lead decorators, guests will also learn tips on how to create a beautiful holiday table, and package their treats perfectly for the holiday giving season.

The Oct. 19 class will focus on creating four Halloween themed cupcakes featuring Spooky Spider Webs, Mummies, Ghoulish Ghosts and custom Tombstones. Thanksgiving and the fall season are the theme for the Nov. 17 class. Attendees will decorate Sparkly Pumpkin cupcakes, Blueberry Pie cupcakes, Pecan Pie cupcakes and Adorable Acorn cupcakes. Students at the Dec. 1 decorating class will create Christmas Tree cupcakes, Ornament cupcakes, Snowman cupcakes and Poinsettia cupcakes.
