Santa's Sparkling Sweets: A Cookie Decorating Workshop w/ The Caring Cookie

Get ready to shine and sugarcoat the season! This dazzling hands-on workshop is all about cookies that sparkle as bright as your holiday spirit. You’ll decorate four festive favorites — a cozy gingerbread house, jolly gingerbread man, glittering gumdrop, and classic candy cane — using edible glitter, royal icing transfers, and wet-on-wet techniques that add extra magic to every bite.

No experience needed — just bring your holiday spirit and sweet tooth! All supplies are provided, including freshly baked cookies, colorful icings, decorating tools, and step-by-step instruction. You'll leave with four sparkly showstoppers that look (almost) too cute to eat — and plenty of holiday cheer to share!

Perfect for beginners, besties, or anyone ready to sprinkle a little extra sparkle this season.
