Witches, ghosts and goblins…oh my! In this class, your instructor will teach you how to make the perfect royal icing consistency to fill and outline Halloween-themed cookies. You will also learn the technique of wet-on-wet and dry-on-dry for the perfect looking treat. Each student will receive 9 pre-baked cookies ready to be decorated. Some of the designs will include: pumpkins, cats, ghosts and witch hats. You will be provided with a box for bringing your cookies home. Note: This class can be a little messy so please bring your own apron. A $25 materials fee is payable to the instructor in class.
