"Hoppin into Easter" @BRCBeer Cookie Class Tues April 15th 7 pm

Interested in learning more about decorated sugar cookies?! Nifty Cookies 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 in class along with a live in-person instructor – just bring a smile (and maybe a friend).

Get your pals together and come decorate a “Hoppy” Easter theme this time – lots of bunnies gettin’ into all sorts of mischief trying to find carrots while we decorate Easter eggs! Each ticket comes with one drink ticket to use the night of the event. 

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, things to bring, cancelations, and FAQs are below - looking forward to having you with us.

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 trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! Hop on over and discover the joy of decorating Easter-themed cookies! 🐣🌸 Your cookies will taste amazing and will look even better once you’ve completed your decorating! 

We provide everything you will need from cookies, icing, and a tray to take your awesome creations home in - we just need YOU! Each to-be-baker gets 6 cookies, 4 icing colors, and all the tools necessary to knock this cookie class out of the park! Everything is prepped right before class – so no baking or icing mixing required. Just decorate!

This class is on Tuesday, April 15th and starting at 7 pm sharp so we can have enough time to decorate and answer 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, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase an add-on kit (click here)! The kits are great for kids at home, plus - we'll send you with directions so you can teach them yourself!

The class will be held at the Brewing Reserve of California (@BRCBeer) in Costa Mesa, CA located at 2930 College Ave D, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Nervous about the parking situation? Don’t be! Parking is pretty easy - there are lots of spots on the streets around the brewery.

**ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL** In the event you cannot attend class, all tickets are transferable to another student but tickets are nonrefundable. 

Please let me know if you transfer your ticket to a friend so I can update the attendee list. I reserve the right to cancel this class due to illness or low enrollment in which case you will be offered a full refund.

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.

Can I purchase an additional take-home kit?

Yes! Many people purchase additional class kits or an extra set of cookies to take home and re-do the classes. 

Do I need to know how to bake?

Nope! No baking history required. We will have the cookies pre-made for you along with the icing already mixed and colored. Have a little decorating experience under your belt… er… apron? Come on too! I can help with questions on icing mixing and dough spread!

What will we learn in class?

You’ll learn what goes into preparing royal icing, the value of different icing consistencies – we’ll touch on tips and tricks to make your cookies look even better than they taste (and they taste good)! You’ll also learn different decorating techniques depending on the class theme such as marbling, outlining, wet-on-wet, brush embroidery, and painting. Or hey – go off script and make your own designs – it’s your class!

What do I need to bring?

Nothing but a smile! Everything will be provided for you including my (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 reference sheet, so if you wear glasses, we'd encourage you to bring them as well. Oh – and bring your phone – I love photos! 

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 21 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! We'll send you the class directions, 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 6 gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24 - 48 hours on their own tray. I’ll send you an Amazon link with a list of the tools we used in class so that you can recreate these cookies at home. 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 20 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP! 

Oh yeah - I have classes throughout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to sign up for our newsletter so you can get in on the cookie action!

DIY / Add-On Kits

Order your sugar cookie class kit HERE and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! These class kits come with everything you'll use in class, cookies, icing, a scribe, and directions so you can follow our step-by-step instructions from home! Cookie Class DIY Kits are created before your class, and you'll pick them up and take them with you after 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 I recommend using your kit as soon as possible - ideally in the first week after you've taken it home. Cookies are heat sealed for freshness – but again, use it in under a week to make sure it tastes the best.
