Join me in the first of its kind hybrid class & competition rolled into one! It’s an ALL-DAY EVENT (class is 8 hours w/break for lunch), at an extremely affordable price! Open to all skill levels, although you will need basic knowledge of decorating sugar cookies. Everyone is welcome from beginners to master pros. Part of our day will be focusing on releasing our individual creativity for the competition & part of our day will focus and require teamwork in small groups.

A timed, judged cookie decorating competition with non-monetary prizes & awards will kick off our day with excitement! During the second part of our new hybrid class, we will create individual succulent gardens. Each of the individual succulent gardens will be placed on display together to form a large showpiece. Immediately following class, we will construct the class showpiece, and it will remain on display, as an event showpiece, during the CookieCon Sugar Show. Your pieces will be individually labeled for later pick-up ease. They will be released for pick-up when the Sugar Show competition pieces are picked up. Boxes for travel provided when you pick-up your succulent gardens.

In order to keep the competition fair, there will be beginner, intermediate, advanced & pro categories, so you will be competing in an appropriate skill level. Your beautiful 3-D succulent gardens will express your personal design creativity after in-person & video class instruction. You will need your cell phone or a tablet with internet connection ability to access YouTube. Depending on how large the class is, air-pods or headphones will be recommended during small portions of the day.

All supplies provided & of course there will be swag!
