Cookies & Gratitude Gathering Sugar Cookie Decorating Class

Ready to whisk up something sweet this season? Join Whats Her Buckets Cookies for a cozy-chic night out at Suite Restaurant & Lounge in Bellevue!

In this two-hour, hands-on class, we’ll roll through the basics of decorated sugar cookies (so yes—it's beginner friendly!) while we practice piping with royal icing and learn how to create cookies that look almost too good to eat. You’ll decorate six Thanksgiving-inspired cookies using four icing colors, with all supplies and step-by-step instruction provided.

Let’s just say “pie” can’t wait to crust your creativity—this class will leave you thankful for sweet new skills and maybe even a few grate-ful friends.

Everything you need is provided—just bring your smile (and maybe an apron). Wine, cocktails, and small plates will be available for purchase from Suite’s bar, so sip, swirl, and spread a little gratitude while you decorate.

You’ll leave with a box of beautifully finished cookies, a solid foundation in royal icing basics, and plenty of confidence to bake up joy at home this holiday season.

Things to Bring

Wondering what you need to bring to have a successful time decorating? Well – nothing’s required – but here’s the things we recommend if you’d like to elevate your experience!

• Bring an apron! Things can get messy when you’re workin’ with royal icing – so grab an apron (bonus points if it’s cute – I’ll definitely be asking where you got it).
• Bring your glasses! There’s a reference slide deck to help you decorate, but if things get blurry far away, seeing glasses may be a great bet.
• Bring your phone! I love it when students take pictures throughout class – so bring a phone!
• Bring a good attitude! Cookies are fun, but they're also challenging! A good attitude makes all the difference.

Who doesn’t love getting out, having fun, and eating something sweet while you do it? That’s exactly what is all about — creating joyful experiences that mix creativity, community, and a whole lot of butter and sugar.

I’m Kim Wren, Chief Dough Officer of Whats Her Buckets Cookies — a Snohomish-based micro-bakery where custom sugar cookies meet a whole lot of personality. Since 2020, I’ve been mixing, baking, and icing my way through everything from birthdays and baby showers to weddings and wine tastings (and yes, I still haven’t put down my scribe tool).

These classes are designed for the beginner cookier or anyone looking to learn something new in a relaxed, hands-on way. Whether you’re here for a girls’ night out, a date night, or just some “me time,” I’ve got your seat (and your cookies) ready.

You’ll get six pre-baked cookies, all the icing and tools you need, and step-by-step guidance from me — so no baking, stressing, or perfection required. Just bring yourself (and maybe your reading glasses if your eyesight’s anything like mine 😉).

I host themed classes throughout the year — from holiday fun to pop-culture favorites — so if you love this one, be sure to sign up for my newsletter to catch the next batch of cookie adventures!

Cancelation / Refund / Sick Policy

Note - our classes no longer require masks. Our classes follow the current recommendation by the King County government and health organizations.

Showing Symptoms Before 7 Days Out:

If you’re sick prior to the 7-day refund cutoff, you can cancel for a full refund! And might we say thank you for quarantining. To request a refund through Eventbrite, follow these steps: send me a message via email or within Eventbrite.

Showing Symptoms After 7-Days Out:

For any sickness symptoms prior to your class’s start time but after the 3-day refund policy, please email us before your class’s start time, and we’ll roll you into an upcoming class

You Don't Show Up or Email Prior To Class:

If I do not hear from you before the class’s start time, and you do not show up for class, I won’t be able to offer you a refund or a credit even if you're sick. So please reach out before class if you’re feeling sick!

DIY 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, and I’ll email you the class website so you can follow our step-by-step instructions from home! 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 long time, 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.

Please consider your allergies before registering.

Class Cancelation Policy: Classes may be canceled at the discretion of me, the event host. This rarely happens – but in that extremely rare event that it does, you’ll receive a 100% refund including your Eventbrite fees.

Classes with attendance below 8 will be canceled. Don’t be sad! You can either get a class credit for a future class (along with my apologies), or a full refund! I’ll let you know if your class has low attendance 5 before the event is canceled so that you can bring a friend (hint hint) or find other plans for that day.

Weather Policy: Sometimes Jack Frost doesn’t play well with cookie class schedules, and Mother Nature seems to be takin’ notes. In the event of inclement weather, I’ll contact you with options – these may differ depending on the weather event, but rest assured – we’ll figure something out!

Eventbrite Fees: Your ticket price includes your ticket fees; however, Eventbrite does not refund its fees. If you cancel your ticket and request a refund prior to the cancelation window expiring, I’ll happily give you a refund less the Eventbrite fee – since I don’t get this fee back either. Eventbrite keeps it regardless of whether you show up or cancel. I know – I hate it too!
