Adult Cupcakes Demo & Wine Pairing July 19, 2010

Description: Cupcakes aren't just for kids! These little indulgences have always been a popular childhood treat but recently they have made their way onto the trendiest adult dessert menus. The delight of having a cake small enough to indulge without having to share…the excitement of peeling off of the wrapper like a little present...the versatility of these little treats anytime or any event, from afternoon tea to a wedding reception, cupcakes are always welcome no matter how old you are.
Join Open Kitchen for this delicious demonstration class where Chef Matt will delight and surprise you with a variety of ""adult"" cupcakes, from his famous Guinness Cupcakes to Red Velvet Chocolate Port Cupcakes. You’ll learn how easy and joyful it is to bake delicious cupcakes from scratch. Once these scrumptious treats are baked and frosted, our Wine Expert Andy Hoyle will step in and share his recommendations for pairing them with an assortment of white, red, and sparkling wines. You will learn which cupcakes pair best with certain wines and why.

To avoid a major sugar-rush, a cheese and charcuterie plate, as well as some light appetizers will be served during the demonstration portion of the class.
