I received this email last week and it made my day! I host monthly canning classes at Cupcake Royale on Capitol Hill and I'm thrilled that a student left and actually applied the knowledge at home. Check out what she wrote & the accompanying pic! I feel like a pround mama. Not only did she take the time to write a lovely note, she included pics. La-la-la-love it. Thanks, Cynnie!

Dear Amy,

I attended your class at Cupcake Royale few weeks ago with three of my friends.  That night we made a date to can and preserve.  Tonight was that night.

All of us were canning virgins and like any first timer we were a tad nervous.  I must say when all of us heard that first POP! (Pun intended) of the first can we all got the biggest, goofiest grins on our faces.  Every pop after that we clapped with joy.

We made 'Three Chicks' Sticks' (pickled organic green beans and carrots) and 'Three Mam Jam' (organic blueberry jam).  We all agreed that it was so fun but we were glad we were there to hold hands the first time.  We are already planning another canning party for October.

Thank you for the great class and for the inspiration.

Best,
Cynnie
