Cupcakes and Cookie Pops

Last Saturday I did a demo at my store, (I call it my store because that's where I teach).  Anyway, I usually get to have my demo's out on the selling floor, but not this time.  I was stuck back in a classroom.  While I was grateful to be able to sit down for a change and for the ability to set up a display and have LOTS of room, I was disappointed in the fact that since I wasn't out in front of the public, I did NO advertising of my classes.  While normally I talk to a couple dozen folks about what I'm demonstrating or classes, I only talked with 1 customer.  So so sad.


My demo was to promote the 2012 Wilton Yearbook: 

(It's pretty awesome - you should get one!)

These are the cupcake cookies - there was a total of 10, but an employee got to them before I took the picture. 

These are the cookie pops.  I liked the way they turned out (baking them that is).  The top pops are decorated with buttercream icing and the bottom ones are done with royal icing.


Besides, the yearbook theme, I was to decorate my cookies to look like candy treats based on the cover of the book. 


I think that I'm actually starting to be more at ease preparing for my demos.  As long as I give myself enough time to prepare, things usually go very smoothly.
