A Very Vintage Holiday - Cookie Decorating Class

Join me for this beginners' sugar cookie decorating class in the North Hills of Pittsburgh to celebrate the holidays! Step back in time and sleigh your holiday treats! Join me on Friday, December 11th, for a beginner-friendly vintage holiday cookie class where we'll pipe up some festive magic using royal icing. Whether you're a total novice or just looking for a sweet night out, yule learn all the basics to create beautiful, retro-inspired designs. It'll be a holly jolly good time (and will fill up FAST) so don't wait! What you'll get: • Six cookies to decorate, icing, and all the tools needed (for class) to perfect the set • Individual instruction from Micah in a no-pressure, self-paced class • A thank you cookie to enjoy while you work or take home • Chance to win a class giveaway • Hot cocoa bar! • A charming venue where you'll feel comfortable and welcome • Electronic materials sent home after class to continue the decorating fun Class registrants must be age 21+ OR 12+ but a parent/guardian (21+) MUST also register in addition (two separate registrations). This class is for beginners or those curious about cookie decorating! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, would like to learn about the pros and cons of royal icing, or just enjoy decorating with sprinkles, this class is for you! I'll provide everything you need from cookies, icing, tools, and a box to take home your awesome creations. So that other family members or friends don't feel left out, consider purchasing an add-on kit! They're great for extending your practice or sharing with loved ones! Plus, I'll send you the electronic class materials so you can teach them yourself, or, skip the detailed instructions and just go crazy with cookies, icing, and sprinkles! The class will be held at the lovely and chic Sapphire & Lace Flower Cottage in Wexford, PA. Outline of Sugar Cookie Class If you're like me (with severe social anxiety), I want to let you know what you can expect from a beginner class! My classes are based in Pittsburgh (both public and privately offered) and cater to the beginner cookier or those just looking to have fun learning a new skill. For classes, all you will need to bring are yourselves (and aprons if you'd like), and I'll take care of the rest. If you'd like, it's not a bad idea to bring eyeglasses so you can see the instructional materials. You'll receive a set of pre-baked cookies (pretty tasty if I do say so myself) as well as all the supplies needed to decorate them. I'll be there to help you one-on-one with any questions or examples you might need. Classes are an hour and a half, giving us enough time to decorate the cookies and answer questions along the way. You will leave the class with 6 freshly decorated cookies to share with family or friends or save just for yourself - that is, if they make it all the way home without being eaten! I'm offering classes throughout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to sign up for my cookie email list (on micahmadecookies.com) or follow Micah Made Cookies on Eventbrite so you can stay in on the cookie action! Health/General Cancellation Policy for In-Person Classes Note - My classes follow the current recommendation by the state of PA and CDC. Cold weather and sicknesses are bffs, so this is the wellness policy for all guests. You will not be required to wear a mask throughout the class; however, you can choose to wear a mask if you'd like! I provide hand sanitizer on each table, along with plenty of Clorox wipes upon request. I have little ones at home and am the first person to skip family functions (to this day) where more than 8 are gathered, but I can't make the same promise for everyone else in the room. Please keep this in mind when registering and consider this too if you're on the fence about mask-wearing. And if you want to wear a mask and don't want to be the only one, I'll gladly wear mine in solidarity with you, so just let me know beforehand! I'll make sure worksurfaces are disinfected before classes start. Showing Symptoms Before 7 Days Out: If you are sick prior to the 7-day refund cutoff, you can cancel for a full refund! And thank you for being honest and awesome. 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 me. I will make sure you receive all of the class materials when you're feeling better, or you can choose to receive a credit for a future class. If you arrive at class with symptoms of COVID-19, flu, or cold, I will ask that you leave class, but you'll be given a full credit towards a future class. Please just get well! You Don't Show Up Or Email Prior To Class (Health-Related): If I do not hear from you before your class’s start time, and you do not show up for class, I won’t be able to offer you a refund or a credit regardless of whether or not you're sick. So please reach out to me if you’re not feeling well before class starts! Questions? Email Me! I check emails as SOON as possible (but not on the weekend). Feel free to send me your questions or concerns and I'll address them as best as I can. My email address is: [email protected]. Thank you for supporting my small and mom-owned business. It really is a JOY to get to combine my two favorite things - teaching and lots and lots of sugar! FAQs What will I be doing in class? Besides having so much fun and learning something new, we'll go over some cookie facts, decorating techniques, and you'll create a set of cookies that you'll take home! What should I bring to and from class? Just bring yourselves, cute aprons if you'd like, your glasses, your phone, and masks (optional). You'll be taking home a set of a half dozen gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24 hours in their own box. And of course you'll have everything provided for you during the lesson from decorating tools to Micah's tips and tricks. You'll also receive the electronic version of class materials used and a supply list with links after class ends. What if I have allergies? Eggs, gluten, and dairy are present in my inspected and licensed kitchen used to bake these cookies and icing. Tree nuts are never used on ANY of my equipment or in my licensed kitchen. Dairy, gluten, and eggs are present in the cookies and kitchen themselves so please consider any of these allergies before registering. NEW - If you require gluten-free cookies to decorate in class, please send me an email prior to registering at [email protected] and let me know your preference. I will do my best to meet your accomodation and will let you know if it's available upon request! How do I register? You're in the right place! Each person must register individually for this class, so if you'd like to attend as a group, please register around the same time so that you can all get a seat, or email Micah at [email protected] for information on private classes. How many people can come? This class is limited to 14 seats per class so please sign up ASAP! This will be the one of two classes offered for this holiday season, so don't wait! The other class will be earlier in December and will not be held at this location. If you're coming with a group (or even one other person), please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early to class to make sure you can all be seated together. Seating is first-come, first-served. Feel free to email Micah ahead of time if you have any questions. Can I purchase an additional take-home cookie kit or tool kit? Yes! Many past attendees or practicing cookiers have purchased additional class cookie kits (and/or tool kits) to take home and re-do the classes or just have fun icing things with other family members.
