Are you ready to take your cookie game from drab to fab?

Welcome to the whimsical world of cookie decorating where cookie Picasso meets a bakery circus.

Imagine this: Cookies adorned with exaggerated expressions that perfectly encapsulate the chaos of that last-minute rush order you just received, or when your royal icing bag burst on top of your finished decorated cookie order.

You’ll be rolling in edible glitter and laughs! Why? Because here, we embrace the delightful mess with open arms (and seriously, a sprinkle of flour on your shirt is basically fashion). Plus, let's be honest, a little stress sweat never hurt anyone—it’s merely an added flavor enhancer, right?

And why divide your passion into two classes, when you can have a full range of techniques and knowledge within a single class?

Join us on this humorous journey as we dive into the art of creating one-of-a-kind sugar art filled with animated antics.

You’ll learn to draw those funny faces that scream, “Help, I’m a cookie artist!”.

Grab your icing bag and get ready to turn your kitchen chaos into a gallery of giggles—we’re heading to mixed-media wonderland!

You might wonder, “What does mixed media even mean?” Throughout our course, you’ll dabble with everything from edible glitter to sprinkles, sugar lace, fondant, wafer paper, and even some edible crazy hair. If it’s edible, it’s a tool for your cookie canvas.

Picture this: You decorating cookies like a flamboyant flamingo strutting amongst pigeons. Yes, that’s right! From mastering the volume royal icing and mixed media, to wielding a paintbrush like you’re ready to create the next great masterpiece (or at least something that will get a laugh), we’re here to unlock the artistry hiding within you.

And don’t worry if you’ve never held a paintbrush before; Carmen’s got your back! She’ll guide you through each step, even during those inevitable moments when your cookie decides to take a leap off the table into your lap. Spoiler: crumbs only add character!

Life’s too short for boring cookies, and this class is the door to sugary masterpieces. Forget about cookies that look like they’re stuck in a dull existence; we're giving you the power to create cookies that not only look good but also tell jokes!

It’s time for you to embrace your inner cookie decorator! Slide into those sweet messy moments and jump headfirst into a world where every cookie is worthy of “oohs” and “ahhs”.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab that apron, rally your creativity, and gear up for a skillful, fast-paced class where fun collides with cookies, and prepare to spread the laughter (and cookies,of course) as you embark on your journey to sweet perfection!
