So don't wait to sign up! 🎅 You're gonna blitz through this upcoming sugar cookie class! 🎁 Sugar Cookie Classes is here to help you "jump" into royal icing 101! In this 1.5-hour-long class, we'll cover the basics of sugar cookies, you'll get our royal icing and cookie recipe, and we'll talk about how to strategize the best ways to decorate sugar cookies! Everything you'll need is provided at class along with two live, in-person instructors. 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, credits, DIY Kits, and FAQs are below - looking forward to having you with us! • 🦌 Note - the images below are just examples - your class will feature a Christmas theme (it may differ from the above picture if we come up with new designs!) About the Sugar Cookie Class! This class is for the beginner cookier or for the person who is just curious about what cookie decorating is all about! And if you're just looking to have a little sugar-filled fun on a Saturday, you're welcome too! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, have found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or are trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! We will be doing a ho-ho-so fun Sugar and Santa Sugar Christmas-themed set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you’ve learned all the basic skills to get started in sugar. 📦 We provide everything you'll need: cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - ☝ we just need YOU! This class is on Saturday, December 5th from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm - 1.5 hours feels like a lot of time, but I promise we'll need it. 📅 Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family - we have seating for up to 10 people! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or solo! 🧒 This class is good for ages 8+, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase a DIY add-on kit at checkout! The kits are great for kids at home, plus - we'll send you the class PowerPoint so you can teach them yourself! Heads up - you can purchase just the DIY kits at Eventbrite checkout; you are not required to attend a class to snag a DIY kit (you'll pick them up during the class, though). 👇 More details below. 📌 The class will be held at the beautiful Heartland Kitchen and Bath Design Center in McLean, Virginia, located at 6712 Old McLean Village Dr, Suite A, McLean, VA 22101. Parking is free and easy (diagram below 👇)! • 🚗 Click here for Google Map directions! FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions 🤔 What will I be doing in the class? • Besides having the most fun ever? We will be going over some cookie facts and 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 DIY Kit if I'm attending the class? • 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 checkout. Your kit will be available at the end of your class - so don't forget it! 🤔 I'm not attending the class - can I still purchase a DIY Kit? • Yes! Check out on Eventbrite - set your class ticket to 0 and add as many DIY kits as you'd like to purchase. You'll pick them up during the class - we'll leave them towards the front for an easy grab-n-go! 🤔 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 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, kiddos under 12 will need a parent to take the class as well. If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase a take-home DIY kit! We'll send you the class PPT (PowerPoint), and you can teach your kids in the comfort of your own home. 🤔 Can just my child take the class? Or do I have to purchase a ticket too? • We require that all parents also purchase a ticket and 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 1.5 hours. Due to COVID space restrictions, we do not have room for parents to stand by and watch their children in class. So no - a child under 12 cannot take the class alone; a parent must also purchase a ticket and take the class as well - but we can promise you this - it's super fun for all involved! 🤔 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 your own box. You'll take your leftover icings as well, and we usually include a fun bag of goodies to take with ya. 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 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP! 🤔 Where are the classes located? • This class will be held at the Heartland Design Studio in McLean, VA - that address is 6712 Old McLean Village Dr, Unit A, McLean, VA 22101. 🤔 I signed up for a class but can't make it - what do I do? • We understand that life happens so that’s why we allow you to cancel and get a full refund (minus Eventbrite's fees - they keep those) 7 days before the class. Eventbrite discontinued its credit options, so after the 7 days, there are no refunds or credits issued. Bummer! But- you can transfer your spot to a friend in the event you can't make it!! • Heads up - No shows don't get refunds either - so try to make it, or send someone else instead! You can even arrive late - we don't mind. 🤔 Can you teach a private class for me and my friends? • Currently, we aren't offering private classes; however, you and 9 friends could purchase all ten class tickets and turn our public class into a private one! 🤔 Do you offer a virtual class? How about private classes? • This year we will not be offering virtual or private classes 😢 - but we do have some bakers we can recommend you reach out to - email us at [email protected], and I'll connect you!
