This class is for the beginning cookier or for the person who is curious what cookie decorating is all about. If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or if you're trying to up your game for the holidays, then this class is for you!
We will be doing a spoooooooky theme set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you've completed your decorating.
We provide everything you need, from the cookies, icing and sprinkles, and also a box to take your awesome creations home in - we just need you! You will also receive a special gift, which is a cookie "tool box" as a take home, that includes an icing scribe tool, scissors, piping practice pages and recipes.
This class is on Tuesday, October 17th at 6PM with 20 tickets available. The class is two hours so we will have enough time to decorate and ask questions along the way. Bring your mom, grandma, your best friend, your group or yourself!

This is a family-friendly event, spooky but not scary. You'll be heebie-jeebied but not haunted.
