Our funny little Easter tradition is back! When you ask me my favorite cake pop designs to make, butterlambs are always at the top of the list! Butterlambs are an Eastern European tradition, and popular in the western NY area. In this class, you’ll receive 6 pieces of vanilla cake, and we’ll go step by step to show you how to mold, dip and decorate to look like your very own butterlambs! Our lamb design is modeled off a classic lamb cake, and we welcome you to come make some of your very own to enjoy for your Easter dessert! This class is a TON of fun, for kiddos & adults alike! There is no minimum age to participate in this class, all are welcome! However, because this class is off location and seating is limited, if you’re signing up a child, you must register for every person that will be in your group. This helps with spacing and seating in the room.
