About this Event


Introduction

Interested in learning more about decorated sugar cookies? The Fern & Flour is here to help! In this 1.5-2 hour class, we'll cover the basics of 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).

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 just trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! We’ll be decorating a set of 6 groovy cookies to complete this set as we deep-dive into all things sugar cookies!

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, and all the tools necessary to knock this cookie class out of the park! Everything is prepped for you before class – so no baking or icing mixing required. Just decorate!

This class is on September 26th and begins at 10:00 am sharp so we can have enough time to decorate and answer questions along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family - we have seating for up to 20 people! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or solo!

This class is good for ages 12+, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase an add-on kit (more on that below)! The kits are great for kids at home, plus - we'll send you the class PowerPoint so you can teach them yourself!

The class will be held at the fabulous Seven on Davis in Culpeper, VA located at 140 E Davis Street. Nervous about the street parking situation? Don’t be! Parking is pretty easy on the street or put Piedmont Steakhouse in your GPS. This will take you to the full parking lot behind Seven on Davis.

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, so you might need your readers.
• Bring your phone! I love it when students take pictures throughout class – so bring a phone! This venue has an amazing back-drop for photos when we're done. Wear your 70's gear and make this a super fun photo op with your groovy cookies!!
• Bring a good attitude! Cookies are fun, but they can also be challenging! A good attitude makes all the difference.

About The Fern & Flour

Who doesn’t love getting out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That’s what The Fern & Flour is all about!

These classes are based in Culpeper, VA 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 - 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 I’ll take care of the rest. Oh – and bring eyeglasses so you can see the instructional PowerPoint/Handout if your eyesight is anything like mine. 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 1.5 - 2.0 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 full-time healthcare recruiters, and I’ve been baking most of my life, but started exploring the world of royal icing sugar cookies in early 2026. I haven't put down my scribe since (don’t know what a scribe is? I’ll teach you in class!). My favorite cookie themes to decorate are baby shower cookies – but I can do pretty much anything if icing’s involved. I love what I do with this side gig –who wouldn’t love making cookies?! It’s the sweetest job in the world!

Oh yeah - I will be holding classes throughout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to ask about future classes or follow along with us on socials.
