Buttercream Meets Cookie Monster: Cupcake Decorating in Potch - 31 May

New Workshop Rolls Out in Reitz Street

There’s icing in the air and things are about to get delightfully messy in Potchefstroom. My Creative Fix is back with another hands-on workshop, this time diving headfirst into the delicious world of buttercream icing. Taking place on 31 May 2025 from 10:00 to 12:00, the workshop promises a proper creative sugar rush for anyone aged 8 and up.

Danielle’s Got the Icing Bag

Leading the charge is Danielle Steyn, whose energy is as bright as her piping tips. Known among local bakers and budding decorators as “Soos Soetkoek”, Danielle will be guiding participants through the whimsical art of cupcake decorating, think Cookie Monster, Shaun the Sheep, intricate roses, and hypnotic duo-tone swirls, all made with buttercream. If your cupcakes usually end up looking like they survived a rugby match, this might be your chance to turn things around.

Where and How Much?

The workshop will be held at 9 Reitz Street, Bult, Potch, which is just far enough from the nearest cake shop to justify decorating your own. The ticket price is R300 per person, which covers all materials, so no need to pitch up with your own spatula and dreams. Just bring your love for sugar and an open mind.

Booking and Contact Details

Spaces are limited (for obvious logistical and sugar-rush reasons), and bookings can be made online at www.mycreativefix.co.za. If you have questions or just want to confirm if Shaun the Sheep is halal (we’re kidding, he’s made of icing), you can reach out via:

• WhatsApp: 064-681-3914

• Phone: 064-681-3914

This isn’t just for those with a sweet tooth, it’s for anyone keen to try something creative without the pressure of it needing to be fridge-worthy. The results may not all be Insta-perfect, but they’ll be 100% edible. And at the very least, you’ll leave with buttercream on your nose and a new appreciation for icing consistency.

If you’re in Potch and you’ve got two hours to spare on the last day of May, this is your sign. Cupcakes don’t decorate themselves.
