Seymour Public Library to host online Food Explorers class on baking cupcakes

SEYMOUR - Join Katie, Registered Dietitian from Food Explorers, at 4:30 p.m. May 7 to make Strawberry Stuffed Cupcakes! 

This program is hosted by Seymour Public Library.

Yep, these cupcakes are stuffed with an entire strawberry. 

You’ll need the following ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, butter, sugar, 2 eggs, milk, plain Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, strawberries (1 pound) and heavy cream. 

This frosting is made from whipped cream, but can be a buttercream if preferred, which would require 1 stick of butter instead of heavy cream.”

Decreases in state and federal funding coupled with increases in demand for services make fundraising events such as this benefit critical to sustaining services for those at risk and in need.

The BHcare Shoreline Benefit is sponsored by Rose & Kiernan, as well as by AFLAC, Branford Jewelers, CT Mental Health Center, Eveland Family, Guilford Rotary, Guilford Savings Bank, Madison Rotary and VNA Community Healthcare. Media partner is Shore Publishing.
