Fall Into Edible Artistry at the Baker's Lab
About this Event
This fall, we're turning The Baker's Lab at 5-12 Dessert into an edible art studio!
Inspired by the beautiful colors of fall and the joy of creating, Fall Into Edible Artistry invites you to spend an evening at The Baker's Lab painting with buttercream and royal icing, sipping warm or spiked cider, and creating one-of-a-kind cake + cookie masterpieces that are uniquely yours.
Your canvas will already be waiting for you—a beautifully frosted 5-inch, 3-layer ivory cake, smooth and ready to transform into your own edible work of art.
Using a curated palette of rich fall-inspired buttercream colors, paint brushes and palette knives, Chef Tai will guide you through beginner-friendly techniques for adding color, texture and artistic details to your cake.
No building. No frosting. Just a beautiful blank canvas and the freedom to create.
But your cake isn't the only canvas you'll be painting.
You'll also receive two custom ivory cookie canvases to paint using royal icing. One will feature a fall-inspired shape, while the other will give you a classic blank canvas to make completely your own.
Experiment with color. Practice your brushwork. Follow Chef Tai's guidance or put your own creative spin on your designs.
And because this is The Baker's Lab, we're making an evening of it.
Settle into your beautifully styled edible art station, enjoy our Fall Sips + Sweets, sip warm apple cider—or our spirited spiked version for guests 21+—and spend the evening creating in a relaxed, luxury fall-inspired atmosphere.
No decorating or painting experience is necessary. We'll provide the canvases, the colors, the tools and the guidance.
You just bring your creativity.

Your Edible Canvases
🎨 The Cake Canvas
We'll do the prep so you can focus on the art.
Each guest will begin with a professionally assembled and smoothly frosted 5-inch, 3-layer ivory cake presented on your own wooden artist's palette.
Instead of spending the evening building and frosting your cake, you'll get right to the creative part—using buttercream, brushes and palette knives to transform your blank canvas into something completely your own.
🖌️ The Cookie Canvases
Before moving on to your cake masterpiece, you'll explore another form of edible painting with two custom ivory cookie canvases and royal icing.
Use your cookies to get comfortable with color and brushwork, experiment with different techniques and let your creativity take over before bringing those ideas to your larger cake canvas.
Whether you follow along with Chef Tai or venture in your own artistic direction, no two finished creations have to look alike.
That's part of the fun.
🍎Fall Sips + Sweets
What's a fall evening without a little something sweet to sip and enjoy while you create?
Throughout the experience, guests will enjoy a seasonal selection of Fall Sips + Sweets, including warm apple cider and handcrafted fall-inspired sweets from The Baker's Lab.
Guests ages 21+ may also enjoy our spirited spiked cider with valid ID.
