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 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”.

Do you wonder how to achieve puffy layers of icing on top of one another without having it crater on you? Do you struggle with puffy writing? Having all the cookie tools is not always beneficial if you don’t have the fundamentals of icing consistency and piping. Whether you are brand new to cookies or have been decorating for 10+ years, this class will help you progress towards mastering the essentials of icing consistency and decorating. We will achieve this through decorating a birthday themed set of cookies you can use over and over again for your own custom sets.

At the end of class you will be provided with a box to carry your cookies home in. You will also receive a swag bag full of goodies to help you recreate these cookies at home.

Do you wonder how to achieve puffy layers of icing on top of one another without having it crater on you? Do you struggle with puffy writing? Having all the cookie tools is not always beneficial if you don’t have the fundamentals of icing consistency and piping. Whether you are brand new to cookies or have been decorating for 10+ years, this class will help you progress towards mastering the essentials of icing consistency and decorating. We will achieve this through decorating a birthday themed set of cookies you can use over and over again for your own custom sets.
