Christmas Cookie Decorating Class

Interested in learning more about decorated sugar cookies?! The Upscale Oven is here to help! In this 1.5-hour class, we'll cover the basics to sugar cookies (so – yes, it’s beginner friendly!), do some piping practice with Royal Icing, talk about how to strategize the best ways to decorate sugar cookies, and cover the general concepts around dough and icing! Everything you'll need is provided at class along with a live in-person instructor – just bring a smile (and maybe an apron).

You'll leave class with a great understanding of the basics of sugar cookies plus a few cool techniques we'll cover in class! More details on refunds, things to bring, credits, and FAQs are below - looking forward to having you with us.

About This 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 experience with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or if you're trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! We will be doing a fun theme set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you’ve completed your decorating!

We provide everything you will need from cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - we just need YOU! Each to-be-baker gets 6 cookies, 4 icing colors, and all the tools necessary to knock this cookie class out of the park! Everything is prepped right before class – so no baking or icing mixing required. Just decorate!

This class is on 13December2025 and starts at 10:00 AM and ends at 12:00PM sharp so we can have enough time to decorate and answer along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or solo!

Location/Parking

The class will be held at the Riverbend Lofts in Kansas City, MO located at 200 Main Street. The room will be the event recreation room right at the front of the building. The building does require a coded entry, so we'll keep an eye out for attendees and let you in ourselves. The closest landmarks are the Cycle City Store and River Bluff Brewing if you need a few more tips.

Nervous about the parking situation? Don’t be! Parking is pretty easy: Non metered street spots have posted signs and are free on the weekends (unless otherwise posted). Metered spots are not free on the weekend and you can pay conveniently via app. Free parking exists along the entire street care line and this location is RIGHT on the line if you would rather park anywhere else in downtown (maybe go shopping and grab food afterward ;-) . The street car runs every 15 minutes.

DIY Add On Kits

Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! These class kits come with everything you'll use in class! Cookie Class DIY Kits are created before your class, and you'll pick them up and take them with you after class.

How long can a kit last? Depending on how you store your icing, your kits can last for a week or longer. Freezing cookies keep them fresh for a few weeks, but I recommend using your kit as soon as possible - ideally in the first week after you've taken it home. Cookies are heat sealed for freshness – but again, use it in under a week to make sure it tastes the best.

About the Upscale Oven

Who doesn’t love getting out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That’s what The Upscale Oven is all about!

A little about me – I started with cake decorating as a kiddo – and I’ve not put down an icing bag since . My favorite cookie themes to decorate are gnomes, animals, and I love metallic food paint and edible glitter – but I can do pretty much anything if icing’s involved. I love what I do –who wouldn’t love making cookies?! It’s the sweetest job in the world!

Oh yeah - I have classes throughout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to sign up for our newsletter so you can get in on the cookie action!
