Decorating with Pride Sweet Creations for All!
This is a beginners' sugar cookie decorating class in the North Hills of Pittsburgh that celebrates the LGBTQIA+ Community and Allies
We could all use a little more love and positivity this year, so join Micah Made Cookies for a sweet and colorful beginners’ sugar cookie decorating class, where everyone is welcome—whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or a proud ally! This class will help you master the art of decorating delicious, Instagram-worthy sugar cookies while celebrating love in all its forms. With multi-colored icing and fun designs, Micah will show you how to mix creativity and flavor into edible works of art. Whether you're here to bake new skills or simply enjoy the company of fabulous folks, you’ll leave with a box of cookies that are as vibrant and unique as you are. Let’s sprinkle some joy, have a blast, and create sweet memories together!
What you'll get:
Six cookies to decorate, icing, and all the tools needed to perfect the set
Individual instruction from Micah in a no-pressure, self-paced class
A thank you cookie to enjoy while you work or take home
Chance to win a class giveaway
A charming venue where you'll feel comfortable and welcome
Electronic materials sent home after class to continue the decorating fun
Class registrants must be age 21+ due to serving of alcohol OR 16+ but a parent/guardian (21+) must register in additon.
This class is for beginners or those curious about cookie decorating! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, would like to learn about the pros and cons of royal icing, or just enjoy decorating with sprinkles, this class is for you! I'll provide everything you need from cookies, icing, tools, and a box to take home your awesome creations.
So that other family members or friends don't feel left out, consider purchasing an add-on kit! They're great for extending your practice or sharing with loved ones! Plus, I'll send you the electronic class materials so you can teach them yourself, or, skip the detailed instructions and just go crazy with cookies, icing, and sprinkles!
The class will be held at the beautiful and chic Sapphire & Lace floral cottage in Wexford, PA. Parking is free, but can be a bit tricky (especially at night), so look for the Dots & Doodles art studio or the Ziebart in Wexford that can help with the directions/GPS. You can also park in front of those businesses and walk a VERY short distance to the cottage.
