Event Details

Learn to decorate sugar cookies like a pro!

Bakeries offer elegantly-decorated sugar cookies for $2, $3, or $4 each.  They often look almost too beautiful to eat!  Join us for our cookie decorating class and learn tips and techniques to make your own majestic cookies!  At the end of the course, you will leave with a half-dozen decorated cookies and the knowledge and know-how to create your own masterpiece cookies at home.

All supplies and tools will be provided, including cookies and icing*.

 

 

Lisa Newell decorated cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for her family and friends for over a decade before starting her own custom bakery business in Pekin, IL.  Many weekends, you can find her teaching cookie decorating in the commercial kitchen she built on her lower level at home.  She also produces her own line of vanilla extracts and vanilla sugars.  She loves her family, her huskies, and creating beautiful confections (not necessarily in that order). 

 

 

* FOOD ALLERGY WARNING: Cookies contain gluten, eggs, and dairy.  Icing contains eggs.  Please gauge accordingly if you have food allergies or sensitivities.  IPDPL is not responsible for any health issues that may arise from participation in this class.
