FAQ

What will I be doing in the 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 that you will take home with you that day.

Do you offer a virtual class?

This year we will not be offering virtual classes - but if you're interested, please email us for information on private in-person classes!

Can I purchase an additional take-home kit?

Yes! Many parents or practicing cookiers purchase additional class kits to take home and re-do the classes. You can purchase an add-on kit during check-out. Your kit will be available at the end of your class - so don't forget it! We'll send out a link to purchase these kits at a special price a week before the event date!

Do I need to know how to bake?

Nope! We will have the cookies pre-made for you and will give you the recipe in an email after class so you can create your own on your own!

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, brush embroidery, 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 our rather tasty sugar cookies. All you need to do is join us and have fun! Messy decorator? You can bring your own apron or just wear easy-to-wash clothing. There is a PowerPoint, so if you wear glasses, we'd encourage you to bring them as well.

What age is best for cookie classes?

Our classes are currently set up for 15+! From youngsters to grandparents - come on in and have some cookie fun with us! If you have a child that is too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase an additional take-home kit! We'll send you the class PPT and you can teach your kids in the comfort of your own home.

What will I bring home?

By the end of the class, you will have created a set of gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24-48 hours 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?

You can sign up either as an individual, with a friend, or with a whole group. The more the merrier! We are limited to a total of 10 to 12 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP!

Where are the classes located?

This class will be held at The Hub in Anoka, MN - that address is 623 E Main St Anoka, MN 55303.

I signed up for a class but can't make it? :(

We understand that life happens so that’s why we 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 cancelation after the 7 days will be a class credit redeemable for up to 1 year from the credit issue date. Please read below for our COVID-19 Cancellation Policies.

About Our Sugar Cookie Classes!

Who doesn’t love getting out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That’s what sugar cookie decorating classes are all about!

Our classes are based in NW Suburbs of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, 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-night-out or just want to explore what cookie decorating is on your own- we have a seat for you.

For our classes, all you will need to bring is yourself (and an apron if you are a messy decorator), and we take care of the rest. If you'd like, grab an apron, and bring eyeglasses so you can see the instructional PowerPoint. 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.

Our classes are an hour and a half to two hours, and that will give us enough time to decorate the cookies and answer any questions along the way. You will leave the class with your very own box of your very own newly decorated cookies!

We have classes throughout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to sign up to be a cookie decorating Class VIP so you can get in on the cookie action!

Covid / General Cancellation Policy for Classes:

While Minnesota is dealing with an up-tick in Covid cases, we have implemented a Covid-cancellation policy.

You will not be required to wear a mask throughout the class; however, you can choose to wear a mask if you'd like! We provide hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes for attendees. Each station is disinfected along with the venue.

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 quarantine-ing (is that a word??). To request a refund send us an email at [email protected]

Showing Symptoms After 7 Days Out:

For any sickness symptoms prior to your class’s start time but after the 7-day refund policy, please email us before your class’s start time, and we’ll give you a credit for the next class!

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

If we do not hear from you before your class’s start time, and you do not show up for class, we won’t be able to offer you a refund or a credit regardless of whether you're sick. So please reach out to us if you’re feeling sick before class starts!

You purchased a Class Take-Home Kit and a Class Ticket:

If you purchased both a class ticket and a take-home kit and email prior to the 7-day refund policy, we'll be happy to offer you either a full refund or a class credit for both your class ticket and DIY kit. If it's after the 7-day cut-off, but 3 days prior to class, we can offer you a class credit and DIY Kit credit. If it's beyond the three days, you may request a class credit; however, you'll need to send a family or friend to pick up your DIY kit from class on your class date. We can't offer refunds on already assembled DIY kits.

Add a Sugar Cookie Class Kit to your Order!

Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! Our class kits come with everything you'll use in class and we'll email you the class PowerPoint so you can follow our step-by-step instructions from home! Sugar Cookie Kits are created before your class and you'll pick them up and take them with you after class. You can order these directly at: https://www.sweetcsconfections.com/product/cookie-class-diy-kit/100 This link will also be send out via email a week before the 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 we 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 bake these cookies and icing. Please consider your allergies before registering.

Processing Fees: Your ticket price includes your processing fees; however, the Square platform does not refund its fees. If you cancel your ticket for a refund, we'll give you a refund less the processing fee - since we don't get this back either. Square keeps it regardless of whether you show up or cancel. :(

We have to cancel: While we hope it never happens, we must discuss cancellations on our end. If we need to cancel due to an emergency or because we don't hit the class minimum of 6 attendees, we will issue you a class credit that can be used for 1 year from the purchase date. But hey, let's just hope that never happens!
