One Sweet Course - Learn to Bake at Butter Lane

Post-college, I find myself still wanting to learn, but for me, the thought of sitting in a class and listening to a lecture is painful ... unless that class is Butter Lane's cupcake making class!

Butter Lane is a small cupcake bakery on East 7th Street and Avenue A, where customers can first choose from three cake flavors (vanilla, chocolate or banana) and then pick from a variety of rotating frosting flavors (chocolate, french vanilla, blueberry, peanut butter, espresso, etc.) to make a truly personalized treat (cupcakes range from $2.50 - $2.75 depending on frosting flavor).  My friend Evan enjoys the vanilla cake with pistachio frosting combination, but I'm a big fan of the banana cake with peanut butter frosting.  

Building on that concept, Butter Lane also offers hands-on cupcake making classes in the space adjacent to the bakery.  You will learn how to make two types of cupcakes and icings, use a mixer and convection oven, and even frost the cakes!  All ingredients, equipment and aprons are supplied by Butter Lane.

Pricing:
$350 for a party of 8-10 people (great for showers or birthdays!)
$50 per person to take the class as an individual (classes are up to 12 people)

Don't feel like throwing down $50 for the class?  Stop by to make your own cupcake combination and be sure to let me know which one is your favorite!
