About this Class
This class is perfect for the beginner cookier or anyone curious about what cookie decorating is all about! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, have found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or simply want to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! We’ll be decorating six holiday-themed cookies that you'll be *a-maize-ing* at!
We provide everything you need—from cookies and icing to a box to take your awesome creations home in. We just need YOU! Each participant 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 is required. Just decorate!
This class is on Saturday, December 14th, and starts at 2:30 p.m. sharp so we can have enough time to decorate and answer any questions along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family—we have seating for up to 12 people! It’s a blast whether you’re coming with a friend, family member, or solo!
This class is suitable for ages 12+, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, you can purchase an add-on kit (more on that below)! The kits are great for kids at home, and we’ll send you the class PowerPoint so you can teach them yourself!
The class will be held at the NIKI Gallery & Art School in Hallandale Beach, located at 1920 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Ste 900, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009. Parking is available inside the building and there are plenty of spaces.
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 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!
Do I need to know how to bake?
Nope! No baking experience required. We will have the cookies pre-made for you along with the icing already mixed and colored.
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 outlining and wet-on-wet. 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.
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 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 PowerPoint, 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 gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24–48 hours in their own box. 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 12 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP!
Where are the classes located?
This class will be held at the NIKI Gallery & Art School in Hallandale Beach, located at 1920 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Ste 900, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009.
I signed up for a class but can't make it?
We understand that life happens, so that’s why we allow you to cancel up to 7 days before the class. You can always transfer your spot to a friend, though (and what a nice friend you are). Any cancellation after the 7-day window will result in a class credit redeemable for up to 6 months from the credit issue date.
Things to Bring
Wondering what you need to bring to have a successful time decorating? Well – nothing’s required – but here are the things we recommend if you’d like to elevate your experience!
- Bring an apron! Things can get messy when you’re working 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 guide to help you decorate, but if things get blurry far away, seeing glasses may be a great bet.
- Bring your phone! I love it when students take pictures throughout class – so bring your phone!
- Bring a good attitude! Cookies are fun, but they're also challenging! A good attitude makes all the difference.
About Cookies by Marcela Classes!
Who doesn’t love going out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That’s what Cookies by Marcela is all about!
These classes are based in Hallandale Beach 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 need to bring is yourself (and an apron if you're a messy decorator), and I’ll take care of the rest. You’ll get a set of pre-baked cookies (pretty tasty if I do say so myself), as well as all the supplies you’ll need to decorate them during the 2-hour class. You’ll leave the class with your very own box of your very own newly decorated cookies!
A little about me – I’ve been baking sugar cookies since 2020, and I’ve not put down a scribe since (don’t know what a scribe is? I’ll teach you in class!). My favorite cookie themes to decorate are baby shower sets – but I can do pretty much anything if icing’s involved. I love what I do – who wouldn’t love making cookies?! It’s the sweetest job in the world!
Oh yeah – I will have classes every month on different themes, so make sure to sign up for those so you can get in on the cookie action!
DIY / Add-On Kits
Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! These class kits come with everything you'll use in class, and I’ll email you a class PowerPoint 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 keeps 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 / Class Cancellation Policy / Weather Policy / Fees Disclaimer
Allergens: Heads up – these cookies include the following ingredients: all-purpose flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. The royal icing is made with powdered sugar, meringue powder, food coloring, and vanilla extract.

Please note – these cookies are prepared in a kitchen that also bakes with common, known allergens: Nuts.
Please consider your allergies before registering.
Class Cancellation Policy:
Classes may be canceled at the discretion of the event host (me). This rarely happens – but in the rare event that it does, you’ll receive a 100% refund.
Classes with attendance below 6 will be canceled. Don’t be sad! You can either have your ticket moved to a future class (along with my apologies), or receive a full refund! I’ll let you know if your class has low attendance 4 days before the event is canceled so that you can bring a friend (hint, hint) or make other plans for that day.
Weather Policy: In Florida, the weather can be a bit unpredictable, and sometimes Mother Nature has her own plans!. In the event of inclement weather, I’ll contact you with options – these may differ depending on the weather event, but rest assured – we’ll figure something out!
Say Cheese! Photos are taken throughout the class (and posted to our Facebook and Instagram pages so you can see them too). Camera shy? No sweat! Just let us know it's a camera no-no.
Eventbrite Fees: Your ticket price includes your ticket fees; however, Eventbrite does not refund its fees. If you cancel your ticket and request a refund prior to the cancellation window expiring, I’ll happily give you a refund less the Eventbrite fee – since I don’t get this fee back either. Eventbrite keeps it regardless of whether you show up or cancel. I know – I hate it too!
