Halloween Cookie Decorating Class

Introduction

Interested in learning more about decorated sugar cookies?! Bug & Bear's Kitchen 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).

We’ll be decorating a Halloween cookie set!

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 holiday theme set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you’ve completed your decorating!

I provide everything you will need from cookies, icing, supplies, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - you just need to show up! Each person 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 Wednesday, October 29, from 6:00pm - 7:30pm. Please arrive on time, or no more than 10 minutes prior, so we can have enough time to decorate and answer questions along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the whole family! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or flying solo.

This class will be held at first floor "Classroom" at the new Cedar Park Public Library located at 425 S Parkwest Drive Cedar Park, TX 78613. Nervous about the parking situation? Don’t be! Parking is pretty easy since the library has tons of parking spaces.

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.

About Bug & Bear's Kitchen

Who doesn’t love getting out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That’s what Bug & Bear's Kitchen is all about!

A little about me – I’ve been baking sugar cookies for funsies since the turn of the century, but professionally since 2024 – and I’ve not put down a scribe since (don’t know what a scribe is? I’ll teach you in class!). My favorite cookie theme to decorate is anything that can be described as cute – 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 the newsletter so you can get in on the cookie action!

Cancellation / Refund

Your ticket is fully refundable if cancelled on or before October 15. After that date, it is non refundable, but is transferrable. If you can't make it, these are the options: (1) pick up your cookie kit from my home bakery at Twin Creeks in Cedar Park at an agreed-upon date (instructions on how to decorate will be emailed!), (2) transfer your ticket to a friend or family member, or (3) resell your ticket.

DIY / Add-On Kits

Order an extra cookie kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! These kits come with everything you'll use in class, and I’ll email you the class PowerPoint so you can follow our step-by-step instructions from home! I don't bring spare kits to class, all cookie kits must be pre-ordered, so make sure to plan ahead!

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.

Classes with attendance below four (4) participants will be cancelled. 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 seven (7) days before the event is cancelled, or on October 22, so that you can bring a friend (hint hint) or find other plans for that day.

Weather Policy: Sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t play well with cookie class schedules. 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!
