Cups, the unique tune-spinning cupcake bakery and lounge on Girard Avenue, is serving up some delectable classes including a new one called “Parents Night Off — Cupcakes and a Movie.” This kids-only cupcake decorating class will include a G-rated movie presentation shown on both of the teaching kitchen’s flat panel video screens. Each child is given two cupcakes to decorate with butter cream frosting and sprinkles while the movie plays in the background. This class is offered to children ages 5 to 9 and the class will run from 6:30 to 9 p.m. It will be offered every other Friday throughout the summer beginning on Friday, June 11. The cost is $25 per student. Another kids-only class this summer is called “Fun with Cupcakes.” It will be offered to children ages 5 and up every Tuesday of the summer from 12:30 to 2 p.m. The children will decorate cupcakes and play with fondant icing. The cost for this class is $30 and starts Tuesday, June 8. Another class, “Mommy-or-Daddy and Me,” will feature recipes from Jill O’Connor’s award-winning cookbooks “Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey: Desserts for the Serious Sweet Tooth,” and “Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey Treats for Kids.” It will be held on Saturday, June 5 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. O’Connor, a Coronado resident, will teach the class as well as sign copies of her books, which will be available for purchase. The class fee is $100 for one parent and one child, plus $25 for each additional child. For adults, every Sunday throughout summer chef Jesus Gonzalez, former creative chef for Rancho La Puerta resort in Tecate, Mexico, will offer a “Market-to-Table” class. Students will attend the La Jolla Farmers Market with chef Gonzalez, choose fresh produce and return to the kitchen to make a spontaneous lunch with the purchased fare. “It’s amazing how you can cook with fresh vegetables,” Gonzalez said. The premise of the class is to teach people not to be afraid of creating meals with fresh produce. Gonzalez is certain it will be fun and educational. Even if the market offers the same vegetables every week, there is still plenty of variety in the preparation, he mentioned. “I think home cooking is the best,” added Gonzalez, who has cooked in this manner his entire life. The first of these classes will be Sunday, June 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will cost $65. Michelle Ciccarelli, owner of Cups, first began teaching cooking classes in Sonoma, Calif. “I went on constant vacations to go to cooking school,” said Ciccarelli, who was a practicing attorney at the law. Cups opened last year on Black Friday, the infamous day after Thanksgiving known as the busiest shopping day of the year. “It’s going well and steadily picking up,” said Ciccarelli of her business. She wants to offer classes that are hands-on, with 24 or fewer students, that will reach out to the community whether to children or adults, chefs or non-chefs. “I’m not a trained chef, I’m just a person who is passionate about cooking,” Ciccarelli said.
