If you are a frequent visitor of BNP, then you know that during the day I teach 4th grade at an amazing K-12 charter school. Well a few weeks ago I was perusing the school’s Facebook page and a parent had asked if we had a baker in our school community. So I thought to myself, Self, why not put yourself out there and see what happens. Come to find out, this parent contacted me and asked if I would be up to making 5 dozen cupcakes for the 2012 seniors. And to that I said…OF COURSE!
So I sent her a few design ideas and she came back with a few of her own and together we came up with a very cool and creative cupcake to celebrate the milestone of high school graduation. I developed a vanilla cinnamon cupcake that is compared to that of a cinnamon roll and used a vanilla butter cream to top it. This is by far my favorite cupcake I have ever made to date! I also made 2012 and PLP signs out of white chocolate to contrast the blue frosting (blue and white are our school colors) and used a graduation liner and hats to make it festive.
Congratulations Class of 2012! “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” ~Dr. Seuss
