Santa's Flight Sugar Cookie Decorating Class in downtown Cincinnati

Are you on Santa’s sweet list?

Join me for my Santa’s Flight sugar cookie decorating class on December 10 from 6:30-8:30 at First Financial Bank's Community Room! It's my first time teaching in this beautiful location downtown, and I'd love for you to join me! We’ll decorate a set of 6 Santa-inspired cookies with 4 colorful icings. “Yule” love this class!

Interested in learning more about decorated sugar cookies?! Sweetened by Nature Bakery LLC is here to help! In this 2-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 join me.

This class is for the beginner cookier or the person who is interested in learning a few tips while decorating sugar cookies. If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing or looking to have fun with family and friends, this is the class for you! We will be doing a fun Christmas-themed set that tastes amazing and looks even better once you've completed your decorating! From Santa with a present and his reindeer, to a gingerbread house with milk and cookies – we’ll be enjoying Santa’s favorites!

I provide everything you will need - cookies, icing, sprinkles and a box to take your awesome creations home in - I just need YOU!

The class is December 10 from 6:30-8:30 so we can have enough time to decorate and ask questions along the way. Come by yourself, bring your friends or bring some family. There is seating for 14 people. It's a blast whether you come solo or accompanied by your crew.

The class is good for ages 8+, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase an add-on kit. The kits are good for kids at home. Plus, I'll send you the step-by-step chart so you can teach them yourself!

The class will be held at the gorgeous First Financial Bank Community Room at 1 East 4th Street Cincinnati, OH 45202.

What will I be doing in this class?

Besides having the most fun ever? We will be going over some cookie facts, decorating techniques and you will be decorating your very own set of cookies to take home the same day!

Do you offer a virtual class?

Currently, I am not offering a virtual component to class. However, if you're interested, please email me about a private in-person class.

Can I purchase an additional take-home kit?

Absolutely! Many parents or practicing cookiers purchase additional class kits to take home and redo the class set. You can purchase an add-on kit at checkout. Your kit will be available at the end of class, so don't forget to grab it.

Do I need to know how to bake?

Nope! I'll have your cookies pre-made for you.

What will we learn in class?

You'll learn what goes into preparing royal icing, the value of different icing consistencies, how to color icing and tricks to fill piping bags. (Believe me, it's harder than it looks.) You'll also learn different decorating techniques such as marbling, outlining, wet-on-wet and painting. Techniques will vary depending on the class and can be customized to your needs.

What do I need to bring?

Nothing! Everything will be provided for you including my rather tasty sugar cookies. All you need to do is join me and have fun! Are you a messy decorator? Just bring your own apron or wear easy-to-wash clothing. There's a PowerPoint so if you wear glasses, I encourage you to not forget them.

What age is best for cookie classes?

Classes are best for ages 7 and up. From youngsters to grandparents – come have some cookie fun with me! Please note: kids ages 7-15 will need an adult taking the class with them. Both kid and adult must have a ticket. If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase an extra class kit complete with step-by-step instructions to take home for them. Also, for classes held in a brewery, individuals under the age of 21 must have a paid adult 21+ accompany them. Due to space restrictions, each individual attending the class must have a paid ticket.

Can just my child take the class?

For children aged 7-15, a paid adult must take the class with them. For teens 16+, adults use your discretion if they’d be able to attend solo. For classes in a brewery, individuals under 21 must have a paid accompanying adult 21+. Parents/guardians attending with children must purchase a ticket for each individual in attendance (kids and adults).

What will I bring home?

By the end of class, you will have created a set of festive cookies ready to dry in their own box. And, of course, you'll have new skills, memories and fun!

Can I sign up as an individual or as a group?

Either! You can sign up as an individual, with a friend or a whole group. The more, the merrier! Space is limited so sign up ASAP.

Where are the classes located?

This class is held at the gorgeous First Financial Bank Community Room at 1 East 4th Street Cincinnati, OH 45202.

I signed up for a class but can't make it.

: ( I understand that life happens so that's why I allow you to cancel up to 7 days before the class. You can always transfer your spot to a friend though (and what a nice friend you are!). Any cancellation after the 7 days will be a class credit redeemable for up to 1 year from the credit issue date.

Who doesn’t love going out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That’s what Sweetened by Nature Bakery's sugar cookie classes are all about!

These classes are based around the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area and cater to the beginner cookier or people just looking to have fun learning a new skill. Whether you just want a fun date, a girls-or-guys-night-out or just want to explore what cookie decorating is on your own - I have a seat for you.

For these classes, all you will need to bring is yourself (and an apron if you are a messy decorator), and I’ll take care of the rest. Oh – and bring eyeglasses so you can see the instructional PowerPoint if your eyesight needs a little assistance. You will get a set of pre-baked cookies (pretty tasty if I do say so myself) as well as all the supplies you will need to decorate them during the 2-hour class. You will leave the class with your very own box of your very own newly decorated cookies!

A little about me – I'm a former public school teacher turned licensed at-home bakery owner. In 2022, I decided to merge my love of cookie decorating with my love of teaching and started traveling around the city teaching sugar cookie decorating classes.

Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! The class kits come with everything you'll use in class, and I'll email you the step-by-step chart so you can follow the instructions at home. Sugar Cookie Kits are created before your class, and you'll pick them up to take home as you leave your class.

How long can a kit last?

Depending on how you store your icing, the kit can last for a week or longer. Freezing cookies will 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.

Allergens - Eggs, gluten and nuts are present in the kitchen used to make the cookies and icing. (The cookies do not contain nuts and are dairy-free).

Eventbrite Fees - Eventbrite does not refund its fees. If you cancel your ticket for a refund, you'll get a refund less the Eventbrite fees. I don't get this back either. Eventbrite keeps it whether you show up or cancel. :(
