About this Event
Holiday Cheer Cookie Decorating
Ready to sleigh your sugar cookie skills? Whats Her Buckets Cookies has you covered! Join us for a jolly-good 2-hour decorating class where we’ll turn plain cookies into festive masterpieces worthy of Santa’s cookie plate.
We’ll sip, laugh, and decorate our way through the basics of sugar cookies — from piping and flooding techniques to icing strategies that’ll have your cookies looking oh-so-merry. Everything you need is provided, so just bring your holiday spirit (and maybe an apron).
Wine available for purchase from Ancestry Cellars — because nothing pairs better with royal icing than a little holiday cheer!
Whether you’re a total newbie or a seasoned baker, this cozy class is all about fun, frosting, and festive vibes. You’ll leave with six beautifully decorated cookies, new techniques, and probably a few cookie crumbs on your sweater.
Let’s make it the most wonderful time of the year… one cookie at a time!
About This Class: Holiday Cheer Cookie Decorating Class
Ready to sleigh your sugar-cookie game? This festive class is perfect for beginners or anyone who’s ever thought, “those cookies are too pretty to eat!” (Spoiler: they’re not.)
We’ll deck the bowls and jing-gle all the way through our Holiday Cheer cookie set — featuring cozy, merry designs that taste as magical as they look. Whether you’re new to royal icing or just in it for the sweet vibes, you’ll leave with cookies so cute, Santa might trade his milk for wine.
What’s Included:
• 6 delicious sugar cookies to decorate
• 4 merry & bright icing colors
• Sprinkles, tools, and a take-home box for your sweet masterpieces
• Step-by-step guidance from Chief Dough Officer Kim Wren (that’s me!)
• All the fun, none of the baking or mixing — we’ve handled the hard part!
Sip, Decorate & Be Merry:
Ancestry Cellars will have wine available for purchase, so you can toast to your artistic genius while you decorate. This two-hour class runs from 5:00–7:00 PM on December 11, 2025, giving us plenty of time to decorate, laugh, and sneak a few bites.
Who’s Invited:
Come solo, bring your bestie, or gather your crew — we’ve got seating for up to 15 guests! Perfect for ages 12 to 100, but if you’d rather enjoy a grown-ups-only night out, grab a DIY Add-On Kit to take home for the kids. We’ll even send you our private class website so you can teach them yourself — instant holiday hero status.

✨ So grab your apron (and your holiday spirit) — it’s time to make your season bright, one cookie at a time!
Things to Bring
Wondering what you need to bring to have a successful time decorating? Well – nothing’s required – but here’s the things we recommend if you’d like to elevate your experience!
- Bring an apron! Things can get messy when you’re workin’ 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 slide deck 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 a phone!
- Bring a good attitude! Cookies are fun, but they're also challenging! A good attitude makes all the difference.
👩🍳 About the Baker – Kim Wren, Chief Dough Officer
Who doesn’t love a night out filled with laughter, creativity, and freshly baked cookies? That’s exactly what Whats Her Buckets Cookies is all about — sweet memories, one cookie at a time.
Our Woodinville-based cookie classes are designed for beginners and fun-seekers alike! Whether you’re joining us for a festive date night, a girls’ night out, or a solo “me-time” adventure, there’s always a seat (and a cookie!) waiting for you.
🍪 What to Expect:
All you need to bring is yourself — and maybe an apron if you tend to get wild with icing. I’ll handle the rest! Each guest gets six pre-baked cookies, icing, tools, and everything needed to create edible masterpieces. You’ll head home with a box full of cookies that look (and taste) amazing!
🎄 Meet Kim:
I’m Kim — the baker behind the buckets! I started decorating cookies in 2020 and haven’t put down my scribe since. My favorite sets? Birthdays, babies, and anything that supports our first responders. I believe cookie decorating should be fun, forgiving, and full of laughter — and if you can hold a piping bag, you can make magic.
✨ Stay Sweet:
I host themed cookie classes all year long — from cozy winter sets to bright spring blooms — so there’s always something delicious in the works. Join the newsletter and come be part of the cookie fun!
Because here at Whats Her Buckets Cookies, we don’t just decorate cookies...
We create joy — one bucket, one laugh, and one cookie at a time. ❤️🍪
Cancelation / Refund / Sick Policy
Note - our classes no longer require masks. Our classes follow the current recommendation by the King County government and health organizations.
Showing Symptoms Before 7 Days Out:
If you’re sick prior to the 7-day refund cutoff, you can cancel for a full refund! And might we say thank you for quarantining. To request a refund through Eventbrite, follow these steps: Follow refund request on Eventbrite.
Showing Symptoms After 7-Days Out:
For any sickness symptoms prior to your class’s start time but after the 3-day refund policy, please email us before your class’s start time, and we’ll give you a credit for the next class!
You Don't Show Up or Email Prior To Class:
If I do not hear from you before the 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 even if you're sick. So please reach out before class if you’re feeling sick!
🎁 Take the Fun Home with a DIY Cookie Kit!
Want to keep the cookie magic going after class? Grab a Holiday Cheer DIY Kit and take the fun home! These kits are perfect for teaching a child, hosting a mini decorating night, or sharing the sweet fun with friends who couldn’t make it to class.
Each kit includes everything we use during class — cookies, icing, sprinkles, and tools — plus access to our private class guide and step-by-step decorating instructions (emailed right to you!). It’s like having a cookie class in your own kitchen!
🕒 Pickup Details:
DIY Kits are prepared fresh before class and will be ready for you to take home at the end of the evening.
🥶 How Long Do They Last?
Your kit will stay fresh for about a week, depending on how you store it. Keep cookies heat-sealed until you’re ready to decorate, and store your icing at room temperature or refrigerate to extend freshness. You can even freeze the cookies to enjoy later — but we recommend decorating within a few days for the best flavor and texture.
✨ Pro tip: The sooner you use your kit, the fresher and tastier your cookies will be!

Class Cancelation Policy: Classes may be canceled at the discretion of me, the event host. This rarely happens – but in that extremely rare event that it does, you’ll receive a 100% refund including your Eventbrite fees.
Classes with attendance below 6 will be canceled. Don’t be sad! You can either get a class credit for a future class (along with my apologies), or a full refund! I’ll let you know if your class has low attendance 5 before the event is canceled so that you can bring a friend (hint hint) or find other plans for that day.
Weather Policy: Sometimes Jack Frost doesn’t play well with cookie class schedules, and Mother Nature seems to be takin’ notes. 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!
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 cancelation 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!
