# Event Details - **Event Name**: Death by Dough: A Murder Mystery Cookie Experience - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: There has been a murder at Buttercup’s Bakery. 🔎🍪🔪 At precisely 5:47 in the morning, beloved bakery owner Buttercup Vale was discovered inside the walk-in freezer. The bakery was locked. Her own chef’s knife was found nearby. And five fabulously suspicious women all had a reason to want Buttercup out of the way. Welcome to Death by Dough, an original interactive murder-mystery cookie experience from Gentle Confections. Part cookie-decorating class. Part whodunit. Entirely too much fun. Here Is How the Mystery Unfolds Throughout the afternoon, you will decorate five beginner-friendly mystery cookies: A detective A magnifying glass A fingerprint The murder weapon A chalk body outline But these are not merely themed cookies. As each decorating station begins, another clue from Buttercup’s Bakery will be revealed. You will receive a case file, meet the suspects, examine the evidence, record your first impressions, and decide whether your original instincts survive the investigation. 👁️‍🗨️Was it the hotheaded new hire? 👁️‍🗨️The rival baker with a suspicious signature spice? 👁️‍🗨️Buttercup’s business partner and sole heir? 👁️‍🗨️The investor quietly buying up the bakery’s debt? 👁️‍🗨️Or the delivery driver who had unquestioned access that morning? Everyone has a motive. Someone is lying. And the frosting may be the least messy part of this story. Beginner-Friendly Decorating & Suspiciously Good Fun The five-cookie decorating set is designed as a Level 1 experience, so you do not need previous cookie-decorating experience. I will demonstrate each technique step by step and help you throughout the class. Your job is simply to decorate, investigate, laugh with your table, and keep your eye on anyone who seems a little too comfortable holding the knife cookie. At the end of the investigation, we will collect final accusations and reveal what really happened to Buttercup Vale. One sharp-eyed guest will earn the title of Top Detective—along with official bragging rights and a special prize.
