The Butterfly Ball is just one day away, and when the elementary girls arrive with their dads or other family members for an elegant evening of dinner, dancing, and fun, they will be pleasantly surprised by the dessert table spread — featuring a variety of fancy cupcakes made by ACS students in the middle school and high school cooking classes.
“The students were so excited to have the opportunity to showcase their baking and decorating talents for this event,” said faculty member Ruby Lewis, who teaches the two cooking classes that meet twice a week. “They really wanted to make a special treat for the young girls and their dads at the Butterfly Ball.” The ball is for girls in kindergarten to the 5th grade and their dads or other family members, and has become a favorite annual event for ACS families.
Lewis said the students baked and decorated 10 dozen cupcakes for the event. They made vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and some are gluten free. “I’m so proud of the work that all the students did,” Lewis said. “The cupcakes look great and they are delicious.”
