Special Add-On: Art of Cake Cupcake Experience

Dive into the art of whimsical cake decorating with Tammy Dunwoody from the Art of Cake Studio in this hands-on experience featuring an adorable fondant lobster topper. You’ll learn how to shape, detail, and assemble this playful under-the-sea design, then finish it atop a rich chocolate cupcake swirled with ocean-blue buttercream and sparkling sugar “sea foam.”

Perfect for beginners and creatives alike, this session offers a fun introduction to fondant sculpting while creating a charming, Maine-inspired cupcake you’ll be proud to take home. Thoughtful details, professional tips, and a touch of coastal charm come together in true Art of Cake style.

️ Please note: Make Your Own Cupcake is an add-on experience and must be purchased with a General Admission Chocolate Fest ticket. This experience is not included with a regular ticket. Spots are limited and time slots apply.
