Look at what our Gorgeous workshoppers made....

Just to give you a little peek at what the gals have been up to in Nikki's Creative Cupcake workshop. I often leave fliers at Jacaranda pre-primary and this last week I left our "Gorgeous Display board" - when I went to collect it, the secretary said that one of their mums had made the most gorgeous cupcakes for her daughter's baker day and they were all so impressed. Well done Jo Goddard for doing such yummy cupcakes - chocolate swirls with a chuckle I believe. In this collage, Tracy proudly shows off her little "works of art" and one of the other ladies shows us how adding eyes to her little frog, gives him personality. What a wonderful display of creativity!!!!
