Naughty Valentine's Day Cookie Workshop!

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 Valentine’s Day 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, sprinkles/glitter, 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 08Feb2025 and starts at 1:00PM and ends at 3:00PM sharp so we can have enough time to decorate and answer along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or your SO. Thisis the perfect activity whether your'e coupled or celebrating singles awarenes day.

This class is for adults only (18+). Unfortunately due to the nature of this event you can see why we didn't post any photos. The class will be exploring the concept of floral work and certain bodily areas if you get the drift (trying to tone it down for those in the back). We'll be exploring the advanced cookie concepts of edible glitter as well! (Everything is better with glitter!) You can purchase an add-on kit for anyone that missed out (more on that below)! The kits are great for continuing the fun at home.

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 trolley line and this location is RIGHT on the trolley line if you would rather park anywhere else in downtown (maybe grab a lunch afterward ;-)) . Because we're right on the trolley line you don't have to stress as much about finding parking right next to the building. The trolley runs every 15 minutes.

Cancelation / Refund / Sick Policy

Sick and Showing Symptoms Before Class:

We understand how much of a let down it is to be sick, but we have to follow all KCMO health department policies which prohibit sick people from handling food around others that will eat the food. We value everyone and understand not everyone has a robust immune system and don't want to get anyone sick.

We ask that you do not attend class sick. We do not offer refunds for last minute sickness, but we're more than happy to try to route your cookies to you and send all the things you could possibly need to decorate your cookies. Please see refund period a week before the class.

Cancellation Policy:

If you contact us to cancel 1 weeks before class we can issue a refund. You signed up, something changed, we get it, and are happy to work with your schedule. Because we cannot fill that slot within 1 weeks of class date 100% of the time we do not offer refunds after 1 weeks prior to class. Sorry, we know, but by that time we likely bought all the handy dandy supplies and started working on getting you all the goodies. Please note the ticketing platfrom charges it's own service fees. Those are non-refundable. You would receive the overall payment-ticketing platform fees/taxes as applicable.

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

If I do not hear from you before your class’s start time, and you do not show up for class there's not much I can do. No call no show results in I may let someone else buy any DIY kits you purchased so their kiddos can have them. If you are at least able to email, call, text to let me know you cannot come last minute I won't issue a refund but I can try to get your cookies to you :-)
