Wedding cupcakes with walnuts and maple sugar cream cheese frosting.
Some of the cakes for this order were made with only maple sugar for a bride who does not eat processed sugar. It was a delicious, if expensive product with a really mellow, lovely flavour. Cupcakes were carrot cake and raspberry coconut cake decorated with chopped walnuts and toasted coconut flakes.
Cupcake decorating classes.
