Cookie Classes

About Sweet Thymes Cookie Classes!

Who doesn't love getting out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That's what Sweet Thymes Cookie Classes is all about!

We cater to beginner cookier or people just looking to have fun learning a new skill.  Whether you want a fun date, a girls-night-out or just want to explore what cookie decorating is on your own- we have a seat for you.

For our classes, all you will need to bring is yourself (and an apron if you are a messy decorator), and we take care of the rest.  If you'd like, grab an apron, and bring eyeglasses so you can see the instructional PowerPoint.  You will get a set of pre-baked cookies (pretty tasty if I do say so myself - and I do) as well as all the supplies you will need to decorate them. 

Our classes range from an hour and a half to two hours, and that will give us enough time to decorate the cookies and answer any questions along the way.  You will leave the class with your very own box of your very own newly decorated cookies!

We have classes througout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to sign up for our email list so you can get in on the cookie action!

Once you have completed the registration form, you will be sent an email with an invoice and further instrustions.

Add a Sugar Cookie Class Kit to your Order!

 Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend!  My class kits come with everything you will use in class and we'll email you the class PowerPoint so you can follow our step-by-step instruction from home!  Sugar cookie kits are created before your class and you'll pick them up and take them with you after class.

How long can a kit last?  Depending on how you store your icing, your kits can last for a week or longer.  Freezing cookies keep 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.  

It's a great way to add to the family fun!

FAQ

 What will I be doing in the class?

• 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.

Can I purchase a take-home kit?

• Yes! Many parents or practicing cookiers purchase additional class kits to take home and re-do the classes.  You can purchase add-on kit during while filling out the form below.  These will be added to the invoice when sent to you.   Your kit will be available at the end of your class - so don't forget it!

Do I need to know how to bake?

• 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!

What will we learn in class?

• You'll learn what goes into preparing royal icing, the value of different icing consistencies, how to color icing, and tricks to fill piping bags (believe me, it's harder than it looks).  You'll also learn different decorating techniques such as marbeling, outling, wet-on-wet, brush embroidery and painting.  Techniques will vary depending on the class and can be customized to your needs

What do I need to bring?

• Nothing!  Everything will be provided for you including our rather tasty sugar cookies.  all you need to do is join me 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 glasses, I'd encourage you to bring them as well. 

What age is best for cookie classes?

• Our classes are for almost any age!  From youngsters to grandparents - come on in and have some cookie fun with me!  However, kiddos under 12 will need a parent taking the class as well.  If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase an additional take-home kit!  We'll send you the class PowerPoint and you can teach your kiddos in the comfort of your own home. 

Can just my child take the class?

• We ask that all parents also attend the classes with their children under 12.  For children over 12, you can drop off your child to take the class and return to pick up in 2 hours.   So unfortunately no, if you child is under 12 a parent must also purchase a ticket and take the class as well - but we can promise you this - it's super fun for all involved!

What will I bring home?

• By the end of the class, you will have created a set of gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24-48 hours in their own box.  Of course, you will have also learned new skills, memories and fun!

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

• 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 10-12 seats per class, so definitely sign up ASAP!

Where are the classes located?

• This class will be held at Turning Point Church in South Springfield, Missouri.  The address is:  5133 S Campbell Avenue, Springfield, Missouri.  It is located South of Sam's Club, between Weaver & Plainview in the lower level Kickapoo Office Building. 

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

• :-( I understand that life happens so that's why we allow you to cancel up to 7 days before the class.  You can always transfer your spot to a friend (and what a nice friend you are)  Any cancellation after the 7 days will be a class credit redeemable for up to 1 year from the credit issue date. 

You don't show up or email prior to class:

• If we I do not hear from you before your class's start time, and you do not show up for class, we won't be ablt to offer you a refund or a credit regardless of whether you're sick.  So please reach out to us if you're feeling sick before the class starts!

You purchased a class take-home kit and a class ticket

• If you purchased both a class ticket and a take-home kit and email prior to the 7-day refund policy, we'll be happy to offer you either a full refun or a class credit for both your class tickey and DIY kit.  If it's after the 7-day cut off, but 3 days prior to class, we can offer you a class credit and DIY kit credit.  If it's beyond the three days, you may request a class credit; however, you'll need to send a family or friend to pick up your DIY kit from class on your class date.  I can't offer refunds on already assembled DIY kits.
