Cupcake Decorating at the Library – Wednesday (Updated)

Above: Last week’s event was rescheduled to tomorrow.. (images cropped from flyer)

A teen event that was scheduled for last week at the Southborough Library was postponed. Cupcake decorating will now take place tomorrow afternoon.

The free event for ages 12-18 allows teens to “Decorate a fancy cupcake and enjoy your delicious result.” The flyer notes that cupcakes will be decorated in an animal theme with help from a professional.

No registration is required to attend the free event in the downstairs Eaton Meeting Room.

Cupcake Decorating - updated flyerInitially, the session was scheduled for March 16th. The snow storm earlier in the week caused a power outage for the baker. She was unable to bake the cupcakes to be frosted.

As I previously posted, the event is one of several Library youth programs related to food/cooking made possible by a grant.* 

The others already scheduled for this spring and summer do require pre-registration and have limited space. To sign up for any of the following, email msorensen@southboroughma.com. (Note: Tools used in the events below were funded by The Friends of the Southborough Library.)

Led by a professional children’s cooking instructor. Paired with a parent or guardian, kids will create beautiful bites out of a wrap, a nut or seed butter, and colorful fruits. They will do the same with hummus or cream cheese and colorful vegetables. Roll it up, slice it, and see the beauty inside!
