About the Sugar Cookie Class!

This class is for the beginner cookier or for the person who is just curious about what cookie decorating is all about! And if you're just looking to have a little sugar-filled fun on a Friday night, you're welcome too! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or are trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! We will be doing a Summer Fun-themed set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you’ve learned all the basic skills to get started in sugar.

📦 We provide everything you'll need from cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - ☝ we just need YOU!

This class is on Friday, June 20th from 6pm- 7pm. 📅 Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family - we have seating up to 10 people! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or solo!

📌 The class will be held at The Mint Sweater in Newport News, Virginia located at 10345 Warwick Blvd. Unit A Newport News, Virginia 23601. Parking is free.

🧒 This class is good for ages 8+, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase a DIY add-on kit at check-out! The kits are great for kids at home, plus - we'll send you the class PowerPoint so you can teach them yourself! Heads up - you can purchase just the DIY kits at Eventbrite check-out, you are not required to attend a class to snag a DIY kit (you'll pick them up during the class though). 👇 More details below.

Add a Sugar Cookie Class DIY Kit to your Order!

📦 Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! Our class kits come with everything you'll use in class, and we'll email you the class PowerPoint so you can follow our step-by-step instructions from home! Cookie Class DIY Kits are assembled for you before your class starts, and you'll take them with you after class.

🎟️ Save money! You don't need to purchase an in-person class ticket to order a DIY Kit either! If you want to skip the in-person instruction, you can just order a DIY kit. It'll be ready for pick-up during the in-person class (6- 7PM), and you can swing by and snag it from the table near the door (10345 Warwick Blvd. Unit A Newport News, Virginia 23601). They're a great option if you're lookin' for something to let the kids do at home or if our classes are sold out. 😭

Each Cookie Class DIY Kit includes:

• ✅ 4 Cookies
• ✅ 4 Icings
• ✅ A Toothpick (Scribe substitute)
• ✅ Sprinkles (if required)
• ✅ The Class PowerPoint steps (emailed)
• ✅ The Dough and Icing recipes (emailed)

⏰ How long can a kit last after I get home? Depending on how you store your icing (fridge vs freezer), your kits can last for a week or longer. Freezing cookies and icing keeps them fresh for a long time, but we recommend using your kit as soon as possible - ideally in the first week after you've taken it home.
