Now, let’s be honest, we all love those beautifully piped sugar cookies, but who in the world wants to pay $3 a cookie for them?! I am here to tell you that while they do require ‘time’ to make them, they are not difficult! BUT they are fun to decorate, and is a wonderful family tradition to begin with your children! {Yes, children can do this too!}
Cookie classes have been a really popular event each year, with at times having nearly 100 cookie class requests! So this year, I’m getting prepared, early! With everyones schedules becoming incredibly full around November and December with holiday plans and cookie exchanges, this year I am starting classes early!
{Starting classes early}
I thought it would be fun to begin cookie classes this year in October! And because I always like to teach classes that are useful and relevant to the moment, classes will be geared toward the particular holiday or season we are entering! October will been Halloween or fall inspired, November will be Thanksgiving or fall inspired and December will be holiday inspired! This way, you can join a class which will allow you to use those cookies for a family gathering, event or school party – and your contribution will be all done, and amazing!
{What will we learn?}
Besides having lots of fun, you will learn basic piping and some additional advanced techniques for sugar cookies! Each guest (see notes for Mom & Me) will be given 2 dozen cookies, with 4 designs, where you will learn to not only pipe, but also learn 3-dimensional piping, sanding & other techniques. This will allow me to instruct the entire group on 4 cookies, and allows guests the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned on the additional sets. This means that while everyone is practicing, I can help one-on-one with questions and fine-tuning!
{What is a class, and its cost?}
I teach all of my classes in a super fun, relaxed, social-gathering – kind -of- way! They can range from open classes in my space or they can be a private class of your friends, family or mom & me, at my space or yours! Each attendee will receive 2 dozen cookies, use of supplies, 2 hours of instruction & time to complete their cookies, as well as, a take-home recipe & instruction booklet. The cost of the class, per person, is $30.00 {see Mom & Me, below, for separate pricing}.
{Mom & me classes}
If you’re interested in a Mom & Me class you will receive {depending on age of children} 1-1.5 hours of instruction and time to complete their cookies, use of supplies, as well as, a take-home recipe & instruction booklet. The cost for Mom & up to 2 children, is $30 and includes 2 dozen cookies {additional cookies, if desired, can be purchased at $5.00 per dozen}. Classes are taught with the same concepts as adult classes, although we start with basic 
techniques to get the kids started and then allow moms to listen in for additional techniques, as desired!
{FREE, you say?}
One thing I’ve learned from teaching classes, is that people have fun doing them, and often want to do it again, with friends! So this year, I decided to treat hostesses {my space or yours} to a free class! Here’s how it works! If you come to a class- hosted by me, or hosted by one of your friends, and you decide you want to gather up your own friends, family or mom & me group {with minimum of 5 guests} and host your own class {my space or yours}, your $30 fee is waived! OR if you already know you want to host your own class, gather at least 5 of your friends, and your class fee is waived!
Wouldn’t it be fun to schedule a class for ….. a bridal shower, baby shower, play group, teacher gathering, birthday, bachelorette party…?
{How to schedule a class}
I’ll be scheduling ‘open’ classes shortly, but feel free to email or call me, if you’d like to be emailed when the class schedule is available.
If you’d like to schedule a private class, as you already know, it can be tricky to gather a group of friends – so be sure to contact them right away! Class schedules are flexible – mornings, afternoons, evenings, with the exception of Sundays.
