About the Sugar Cookie Class!

This class is for the beginner "cookier" or for the person who is just curious about what cookie decorating is all about! If you have limited experiences with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or if you're trying to have fun with the family or friends, this is the class for you! We will be doing a fun Halloween theme set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you’ve completed your decorating!

Liz provides everything you will need from cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - we just need YOU!

This class is on Thursday, October 20th from 7:00 am to 9:30 pm so we can have enough time to decorate and ask questions along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family - we have seating up to 7 people! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or solo!

This class is perfect for ages 10+, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase an add-on kit! The kits are great for kids at home, plus - we'll send you the class PowerPoint so you can teach them yourself!

The class will be held at Elizabeth's Custom Bakes, in Charlton, MA located at 17 McIntyre Road. Parking is free and easy!

FAQ

What will I be doing in the class?Besides having the most fun ever? We will be going over some cookie facts, decorating techniques and you will be decorating your very own set of cookies that you will take home with you that day.

Do you offer a virtual class?This year we will not be offering virtual classes - but if you're interested, please email us for information on private in-person classes!

Can I purchase an additional take-home kit?Yes! Many parents or practicing "cookiers" purchase additional class kits to take home and re-do the classes. You can purchase an add-on kit during check-out. Your kit will be available at the end of your class - so don't forget it!

Do I need to know how to bake?Nope! We will have the cookies pre-made for you!

What will we learn in class?You’ll learn what goes into preparing royal icing, the value of different icing consistencies, how to color icing, and tricks to fill piping bags (believe me, it’s harder than it looks). You’ll also learn different decorating techniques such as marbling, outlining, wet-on-wet, brush embroidery, and painting. Techniques will vary depending on the class and can be customized to your needs.

What do I need to bring?Nothing! Everything will be provided for you including our rather tasty sugar cookies. All you need to do is join us and have fun! Messy decorator? You can bring your own apron or just wear easy-to-wash clothing. There is a PowerPoint, so if you wear glasses, we'd encourage you to bring them as well.

What age is best for cookie classes?Our classes are for almost any age! From youngsters to grandparents - come on in and have some cookie fun with us! Our in-person classes are great for any age; however, kiddos under 12 will need a parent taking the class as well. If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase an additional take-home kit! We'll send you the class PPT and you can teach your kids in the comfort of your own home.

Can just my child take the class?We ask that all parents also attend the classes with their children under 10. For children over 10, you can drop off your child to take the class and return to pick-up when class is over. Due to space restrictions, we do not have room for parents to stand by and watch their children in class. So unfortunately, no - your child cannot take the class alone, a parent must also purchase a ticket and take the class as well - but we can promise you this - it's super fun for all involved!

What will I bring home?By the end of the class, you will have created a set of gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24-48 hours in their own box. And of course, you’ll have new skills, memories, and fun!

Can I sign up as an individual or as a group?You can sign up either as an individual, with a friend, or with a whole group. The more the merrier! We are limited to a total of 7 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP! OR contact me directly to set up a group class! Id love to have ya!

Where are the classes located?The class will be held at Elizabeth's Custom Bakes, in Charlton, MA located at 17 McIntyre Road. Parking is free and easy!

I signed up for a class but can't make it?:( We understand that life happens so that’s why we allow you to transfer your spot to a friend though (and what a nice friend you are).
