The Sugar Studio

I was lucky enough to have the insanely talented (and sassy and adorable) Hilary of Sugar Studio create my wedding cake.
I stalk her pretty obsessively on Instagram ever since she taught me how to make macarons (such a great class!), and lust after everything she does. We just wanted a little cake to cut (to appease the parents) since we were doing an ice cream bar for dessert.
Not only was the cake gorgeous, simple, and perfect — with no direction from me other than a link to my Pinterest board; it was insane. Buttery, creamy, life alteringly exquisite. Seriously, our guests saw us swooning over the cake and it got all (
). I mean, granted, our guests showed remarkable restraint, but I could see it in their eyes. They were murderous.
As we feasted on the cake the next day, marveling at how the frosting could be so light, so. .almost effervescent.. we actually felt a little bit bad not serving enough for everyone.
Don’t make our mistake — avoid WWE smack down level guests who want some delicious damn cake.

Outstanding! I was the lucky recipient of a surprise gift certificate to the Marie Antoinette Cupcake Bootcamp Class and it far exceeded any expectations I had. I loved that it was an intimate class, about 7 –8 people, so each of us had an opportunity to get questions answered, get personal help after tips and tricks were demonstrated, and, of course, meet and get to know new bake-​minded friends.
I bake all the time (nothing NEAR professional level) but considering all the baking I’ve done and tools, instruments, methods, etc. I’ve tried experimenting with at home, I was still blown away with all the new tips and tricks presented — bonus: it’s realistic, obtainable, doable things any home-​baker can accomplish to totally up their cupcake/​cake game! I’m already obsessed and can’t wait to go back for other classes.
The class atmosphere was super-​fun and very well organized for an efficient flow without making you feel stressed or rushed, and all the take-​away tips and recipes we were given are absolutely terrific — my finished cupcakes were like works of art AND absolutely delicious! I often feel like you get one or the other — they look amazing but taste like pressed chalk, or they look amateurish but actually taste incredible. Well, not the case here — they looked and tasted AMAZING.
She’s a wonderful teacher, very engaging and completely available for questions and guidance along the way. She is just as sweet and amazing as the cakes themselves. I would HIGHLY recommend!
