Cake decorating focus of April classes at fairgrounds
With spring now officially in bloom, the Greene County Department of Recreation will next month offer classes in the art of cake decorating. All classes will be held on the lower level of the 4-H Building at the Greene County Fairgrounds and are sponsored by the Greene County Commissioners and Department of Recreation.
On Tuesday, April 3, Yvonne Lee of Carmichaels will lead a character cake decorating class from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The cost to attend is $25, and the pre-registration deadline is Monday, April 2. Participants in the hands-on class will learn basic and more advanced decorating techniques in order to create kid-friendly cakes and cupcake cakes.
Lee will return Wednesday, April 18, to instruct a buttercream piping class from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The cost to attend is $25, and the pre-registration deadline is Tuesday, April 17. The class will focus on several buttercream piping techniques, from borders to roses.
Attendees of both classes will decorate a dozen cupcakes to take home each night, so an adequate container should be brought. Supplies will be provided for both classes, although bringing an apron is optional.
For more information, or to pre-register for the classes, call the Department of Recreation at 724-852-5323, or visit www.co.greene.pa.us.
