According to https://factfile.org/10-facts-about-cake-decorating, the main reason people decorate cakes or cupcakes is because they want to celebrate an important occasion. In the school year 2018-19, the Gallatin County Extension Service offered a cooking club as well as several cooking camps. After giving choice of a cooking club or a cake decorating club,  4-H members unanimously decided on cake or cupcake decorating. They wanted to be ready to participate in the 4-H Cupcake Wars at the Kentucky State Fair. This club was offered at school. We had no idea how popular it was going to be.   Thirty children signed up with two teen volunteers and one adult volunteer. We quickly had to rethink how to let all of those children participate. We split the 3^rd -5^th grade club members so that we had a beginner level and an intermediate level and we added another adult volunteer. After several months, nine middle school youth wanted to participate, so another club was offered at the Gallatin County Extension Office. We hope to participate in the Kentucky State Fair Cupcake Wars Competition.   Several teachers have asked to have their own cake decorating workshop which will be scheduled in the new school year..
