Question 1

What will I be doing in the class?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Can I purchase an additional DIY Kit if I'm attending the class?

Accepted Answer

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 check-out. Your kit will be available at the end of your class - so don't forget it!

Question 3

I'm not attending the class - can I still purchase a DIY Kit?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Check out on Eventbrite - set your class ticket to 0 and add as many DIY kits as you'd like to purchase. You'll pick them up during the class - we'll leave them towards the front for an easy grab-n-go!

Question 4

Do I need to know how to bake?

Accepted Answer

Nope! We will have the cookies pre-made for you and will give you the recipe in an email after class so you can create your own on your own!

Question 5

What will we learn in class?

Accepted Answer

You’ll learn what goes into preparing royal icing, the value of different icing consistencies, how to color icing, and different decorating techniques such as marbling, outlining, wet-on-wet, and painting. Techniques will vary depending on the class and can be customized to your needs.

Question 6

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Nothing! Everything will be provided for you including our 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. There is a PowerPoint, so if you wear seeing glasses, we'd encourage you to bring them.

Question 7

What age is best for cookie classes?

Accepted Answer

Our in-person classes are great for any age; however, kiddos under 12 will need a parent to take the class as well. If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase a take-home DIY kit and we'll send you the class PowerPoint to follow along with at home!

Question 8

What will I bring home?

Accepted Answer

By the end of the class, you will have created a set of gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24-48 hours in your own box. You'll take your leftover icings as well.  And of course, you’ll have new skills, memories, and fun!

Question 9

Can I sign up as an individual or as a group?

Accepted Answer

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 10 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP!

Question 10

Where are the classes located?

Accepted Answer

This class will be held at The Mint Sweater  in Newport News, VA- that address is 10345 Warwick Blvd. Unit A Newport News, Virginia 23601.

Question 11

I signed up for a class but can't make it - what do I do?

Accepted Answer

We understand that life happens so that’s why we allow you to cancel and get a full refund (minus Eventbrite's fees - they keep those) 7 days before the class. After the 7 days, there are no refunds or credits issued, but you can transfer your spot to a friend  in the event you can't make it!!
