April Showers... Cookie Workshop 2024

Have you ever wanted to learn how to decorate those beautiful sugar cookies like you see on Pinterest? Well, here's your chance. In this 2 hour class, I'll cover the basics of sugar cookies and decorating. You'll learn about the different consistencies of icing, simple techniques used to decorate, and guided instruction.

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

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

What will I be doing in the class?

Besides having a great time? 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.

Can I purchase an additional take-home kit?

Yes! Many parents or practicing cookiers (that's what they call us) 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!

Do I need to know how to bake?

Absolutely not! I 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 my 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.

What age is best for cookie classes?

Our classes are for almost any age! From youngsters to grandparents - come on in and have some cookie fun with us! Our in-person classes are great for any age; however, kids under 12 will need a parent taking the class as well. If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase an additional take-home kit! I'll send you the class instructions and you can teach your kids in the comfort of your own home.

Can just my child take the class?

We ask that all parents also attend the classes with their children under 12. For children over 12, you can drop off your child to take the class and return to pick-up in 2 hours. Due to space restrictions in some locations, there isn't room for parents to stand by and watch their children in class. So unfortunately, no - your child cannot take the class alone, a parent must also purchase a ticket and take the class as well.

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 15 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP!

Where are the classes located?

This class will be held at the Trouvaille Brewing Company, 14600 Washington Street, Suite 150, Haymarket, VA 20169.

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 4 days before the class. You can always transfer your spot to a friend. Any cancelation after the 4 days will be a class credit redeemable for up to 1 year from the credit issue date.

This class is on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The class will start promptly at 6:30, so there will be enough time to decorate and ask questions along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family - we have seating for up to 15 people! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or solo!

I 'm really looking forward to meeting you and teaching you the basics of cookie decorating. I know that once you start decorating cookies, you probably won't want to stop.
