🧁 My Cupcake Adventure! 🧁
Well… I finally did it! A bucket-list dream that has been sitting on my list for years. We travelled approximately 7,640 km from Victoria, BC to Dorchester, England to spend two very special days learning from the incredibly talented Rachel.
And getting there was an adventure all on its own! ✈️ 🚆 🚕 🚲 👣
We travelled by plane, train, cab, bike and foot to make our way from little old Victoria all the way to Dorset. And every kilometre was worth it!
I’ve been following Rachelle's Cake School and dreaming about learning from her for years, so actually standing in her home, watching her create the most beautiful floral cupcakes and getting to learn all her little tips and tricks was pretty surreal.
I went in as a sponge, ready to watch, learn, ask a million questions and soak up every bit of cupcake knowledge I could. And Rachel did not disappoint!
There was lots of buttercream, lots of flowers, lots of laughing, a whole lot of learning… and quite possibly a little squealing from me when I realized, I’m actually here! 😂
What made it even more special was how joyful the whole experience was. It wasn’t just about learning how to pipe a prettier flower. It was about being surrounded by creativity, sharing a love of making beautiful things, and spending time with someone whose work I have admired for so long.
I came home with new skills, a head absolutely bursting with ideas, and a heart that was very, very happy. ❤️
Sometimes those bucket-list dreams really are worth chasing. And this one? So worth the 7,640 km journey. 🧁🌸
Thank you, Rachel, for such a joyful and unforgettable cupcake adventure. I’m already excited to put everything I learned to work at My Little Stand!
Now… who’s ready for cupcakes? 😉
