The Little Cupcake Lady at Golfspektakel @ Golf Club Lenzerheide

The golf tournament was organised by Hotel Kurhaus and the little cupcake lady was there as a member of Sweet-Hearts.org to sell her vanilla cream cupcakes. It was a real fun day and thank god the sun was on our side! Thank you everyone for all your donations to Sweet-Hearts.



































Vanilla & Buttercream Cupcakes for Sweet-Hearts.org

I baked these sweet vanilla cupcakes for our first Sweet-Hearts.org charity event, Golfspektakel at Golf Club Lenzerheide organised by the Kurhaus Hotel, to raise funds for 3 kids in Bolivia to pay for their chemotherapy, without which they would not survive long. The idea to set up this charitable entity came from my dear friends, Carolina and Maria and I am very proud to be a member and part of it.

Sweet-Hearts.Org was founded in Switzerland in late May 2013 as a charitable association. We are a bunch of young Sweet-Hearted people dedicated to serving underprivileged children and people suffering from illnesses with the hope of helping each one of them maximize their life potential.

Our mission is to fund raise for various charity projects and organisations that are associated with social care, health care, education and community development in order to ensure disadvantaged people have access to basic care and educational opportunities.

For our fundraising activities, we, as cake lovers, organize various events around (but not limited to) the sale of sweets, cakes and pastries in Switzerland, hence the name Sweet-Hearts!

We currently work in collaboration with communities and charitable organisations across Latin America and we intend to expand to other territories where we can help.

Pictures of the event to follow shortly!!!!

All about sugar paste

Yesterday I attended a cupcake decorating workshop “All about sugar paste” in a very old restored house in Zurich and I learnt how to make leaves, flowers, roses, butterflies, baskets, etc.. with sugar paste.  The workshop was thankfully in English and organised by Alexandra and Timea from Ribizli.  Please check out their website here as they offer many classes.  I very much enjoyed working with sugar paste and I found it easy to model and shape little objects.  I am looking forward to attending their cupcake decorating workshop soon.  Classes cost around CHF 125 for ca 3 hours.
