Learn the Art of Cookie Decorating!

Curious about cookie decorating? This class is the sweetest place to start! No experience? No problem. We’ll guide you step by step, and all supplies are included. Just bring your creativity, a playful spirit, and maybe a sweet tooth.

In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll dive into the colorful world of royal icing. First, we’ll explore the basics of piping. Next, you’ll practice outlining and flooding with ease. Then comes the fun part – decorating! You’ll design six beautiful, themed cookies to take home, show off, or devour.

But don’t worry – it’s not all serious. We keep the pace relaxed and the atmosphere light. Each cookie is a new chance to experiment. You’ll discover how to hold your piping bag like a pro, make clean outlines, and fill cookies with smooth, glossy icing. With every cookie, your confidence will grow.

The best part? This class is all about fun. Come solo for a relaxing creative break. Invite friends and make it a sweet little outing. Celebrate a special occasion or simply treat yourself to something new. Everyone leaves with cookies, smiles, and a sprinkle of pride.

Edible Creations

Cookie decorating isn’t just about sugar and icing – it’s about joy. It’s about turning simple cookies into edible works of art. It’s about playing with color, design, and style while sharing laughter along the way.

And once you’ve learned the basics, you’ll be hooked. You’ll start spotting cookie inspiration everywhere – holidays, birthdays, or even a rainy afternoon at home. With your new skills, you’ll be ready to decorate cookies that taste as amazing as they look.

So, why wait? Grab a spot, join the fun, and discover the magic of cookie decorating. Sweet memories (and sweet treats) are waiting for you! Ages 5 – 8
