About this Event

Introduction

Learn the basics of Christmas cookie decorating with festive designs, simple techniques, and plenty of holiday cheer! Impress your friends and family, or even teach them what you've learned at your next holiday gathering. Freeze your cookies until Christmas to bring out a beautiful centerpiece for your holiday table!

Ticket sales end two days before the event. Buy your ticket by Sunday, 11/16!

At Colors & Cocktails, you are welcome to bring your own food & beverages to enjoy while you create!

What's included in my ticket?

  • Homemade sugar cookies
  • Homemade royal icing, mixed to the perfect consistency and ready to pipe!
  • Sprinkles and Extras
  • Access to all decorating tools you'll need
  • Take-home box for your cookies & icing
  • All of Maddie's tips and tricks to decorating beautiful cookies
  • Maddie's recipes for sugar cookies & royal icing (to be emailed after class)

This class is good for ages 10 and up, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase an add-on kit (more on that below) for them to do when you come back home! (Kiddos should have prior experience with cookie decorating if joining this class, otherwise they'll get easily frustrated).

About MaddieKakes Bake Shop

Owned by Maddie Haydon, MaddieKakes Bake Shop is an at-home bakery in St. Joseph, MI. It all began when she decorated a set of Betty Crocker sugar cookies for her best friend's bachelorette party, which led to selling custom cookies, which led to teaching decorating classes! She teaches these classes monthly in St. Joe and often in Kalamazoo.

Maddie's classes cater to the beginner to advanced 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 - there's a seat for you.

Can't wait to see you in class!

DIY / Add-On Kits

Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend, or try it again on your own! These class kits come with everything you'll use in class. Cookie Class DIY Kits are prepared 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.

Allergen Disclaimer

Allergens: Heads up – these cookies include the following allergens: wheat/gluten, egg, dairy (butter)

Please note – these cookies are prepared in a kitchen that also bakes with common, known allergens: soy, nut, fish, shellfish, gluten, dairy

Please consider your allergies before registering.

Parking

Street parking is available along the Kalamazoo Mall, but only for 90 minutes at a time. You may park along E South St for longer periods of time, and there is also a parking garage just around the corner on E South St (that's where I usually park!). Arrive early so you can find parking and be on time for class!
