Tee's Cakes & Confections to Hold Cupcake Decorating Class

Tee's Cakes & Confections in Oak Forest is holding cupcake decorating classes for young adults and for your date night.

Tee's Cakes & Confections, owned by Bremen high school alumni Taryn Harmon, has been busy the past 6 months since she opened. Her store front bakery located at 16150 S. Cicero, Unit 8, in Oak Forest specializes in custom cakes, cookies, cupcakes and confections for all your celebration needs is branching out.

Miss Harmon has been teaching classes at the local high schools helping students become expert in all things sweet. She has come in as a guest to more than a few cooking classes at Bremen High School, Tinley Park High School and Hillcrest High School. Recently she was a guest at Bremen with Miss Mack where she helped prepare students for their regional competition for their FCCLA baking class.

Taryn Harmon teaching the finer skills of piping and decorating.

She was there to help the student perfect their piping and decorating skills, both which look easy but take time and patience to perfect. She shared some of her best kept secrets to help the students for their upcoming competition which will take place on February 6th. She loved being in the class room especially since Miss Mack was her teacher at Bremen High School.
