Christmas Cookies Workshop
December 7th
You’ve seen them for sale in bakeries or on platters at parties and have been blown away by the beauty! A stunning cookie so pretty you almost don’t want to eat it. You’ve wondered, how do they do that? Can I do that? Well, now you can! Join instructor Cindy Wolff as you learn to decorate beautiful sugar cookies with royal icing!
Participants will decorate at least five cookies using different royal icing consistencies. They then will be able to put on their creative hats utilizing those skills to decorate a few more cookies of their very own design! This workshop will discuss basic flooding and detail techniques to create colorful, impressive, statement cookies. Students will take home their finished cookies, a scribe decorating tool, Cindy's sugar cookie and royal icing recipes, and a baking goody bag including sprinkles and a cookie cutter.
This workshop is $50 per person for ages 10 and over. All cookies, icing and decorating supplies will be provided. You may choose to bring an apron and a platter or dish to transport your cookies home. The icing will still be wet, so a 13 x 9 dish or pan is ideal.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the farm and pre-registration is required. Tickets are available for purchase up until 48 hours prior or until sold out.
Please direct any workshop related questions to Cindy at 517-204-0499 or cwolff5611@gmail.com

Pet of The Week-Anna May!
Hi guys!! I'm Anna May and I'm SO excited to meet you! I just love people!
I am still learning manners and how to control my excitement so you may see me quite literally jump for joy at times, I promise it's something I'm working on though. I just need a nice human to come along and teach me some basic etiquette. I'm still young and very eager to learn!
You may wonder why I'm a year old and don't have much training, well, I have spent almost my whole life in shelters. I was brought to a shelter out of town at about 4 months old and that's all I've ever known or been exposed to. I'm learning to go on walks now and how to walk nicely and the people here say I'm a quick learner! Unfortunately since shelter life is all I know, I can be standoffish with other dogs, mostly females. Who wouldn't be a little reactive to a bunch of strangers yelling at you though?!
I'm sure with the right human and some patience we could work through this. I haven't experienced those little fuzzy things called cats so I'm not sure I'd want to coexist with any, but again, maybe it's something I could learn to live with. Give me a chance and I promise to be the best girl I can be!
