  • Royal Icing Cookies

    Knowledgeable teacher Well planned and executed program Supportive atmosphere Good group of interested participants I look forward to taking another.
  • Royal Icing Cookies

    The holiday cookie decorating class was so fun to do with my friend! I've always wanted to learn how to decorate cookies that looked beautiful and our Cookie Decorating Master made it so enjoyable and easy to learn. My friend and I even went home and decorated cookies for our friends and family with our newly learned skills. This is a great class for beginners and I highly recommend bringing a friend along!

    Great instructor and class. I left having good skills for just a few hours and people were super impressed with my holiday cookies at the family party :)
  • Royal Icing Cookies

  • Royal Icing Cookies

    This class is quite expensive for what it is, you are better off watching YouTube videos at home for free! The class was quite large at 12 adults and 5 children. The instructors did a great job spliting up having one dedicated to the children. You decorate 5 cookies with very limited direction from the instructors. Hopefully, you are a natural because they will not tell you what you are doing wrong or what the proper technique is. After flagging down an instructors attention, I asked why my frosting had odd lines and height (thinking I was flooding incorrectly). The instructor responded that they hadn't make that color frosting correctly so the lumpy look was normal. I can do incorrect at home for a lot less than $95. If you are looking for a try something new, just for the hell of it, however it goes it goes, then this is a great class.
  • Royal Icing Cookies

    The area was very tight and if was difficult to see the person giving the directions. I was disappointed.
  • Royal Icing Cookies

    Instructor was great as were all the staff at NY Cake
  • Royal Icing Cookies

    I loved the class. I would have liked more hands on experience actually making the icing, but I understand it was a cookie decorating class, not a Royal Icing making class. ;) But it was great getting the chance to use the different textures and techniques of Royal icing. For me, a beginner, it was great.
  • Royal Icing Cookies

    The teachers were all amazing. I loved learning new techniques and they inspired me to learn more. I do wish they would offer a class on baking the cookies themselves. I struggle with that. If they had a class with baking the sugar cookies, plus decorating already baked ones, I would sign up! The teachers did offer advice on baking the cookies, but it's so much better taking a class.
