This summer we will host three Open House events each with Themed Cupcake Decorating Classes, Spin-Art Cookie Decorating and a Bake Sale. These events are fun for friends and family of all ages. For the classes we provide all of the cupcakes, icings, decorations and tools. When participants arrive, we have themed snacks and refreshments to enjoy and aprons to put on before we start the short cupcake decorating demonstration. Then everyone takes those ideas and uses their imagination to decorate their cupcake works of art. At the end, the cupcakes are boxed up for taking them home to share and savor. We are excited to again partner with the Capital Confectioners Cake Club for the Open Houses that help to support their events like That Takes the Cake. Club members provide the bake sale items – and they create some beautiful and delicious goodies!

Register in the store or  online   here . The cost for the cupcake classes is $20 per dozen mini-cupcakes and up to 2 people are welcome to work together on a set of cupcakes.

We hope to see you and your family and friends at an Open House event this summer!
KID'S CLASSES 2019
Join us for: Cookie Decorating, Cupcake Decorating, Cake Decorating, Cake Baking, Fondant Cake Decorating, 3D Cookie Scene, Candy Making, Empanadas, Pizzas and Pretzels. There are so many great class options with experienced Make It Sweet Instructors - Christy, Kelly, Magda and Jennifer.

Class times are 10 am to 12:30 pm each day during 6 select weeks throughout the summer. The camp attendance is flexible - pick and choose dates - no need to sign-up for a complete week at a time. Discounts are applied for multiple class registrations.

The kids get dropped off starting at 9:45 am so that we are ready to begin class right at 10 am. Camp students will start every class with washing hands and putting on aprons. Then the fun begins as the instructor demonstrates the steps of the project. Camp students work in small groups each guided by a teenage camp counselors to work on their creations. In this fun environment kids learn about techniques, tools, ingredients, following recipes, sanitation, math and so much more while making and decorating their project that they get to take home and enjoy.

During class we provide a snack (popcorn / pretzel mix and fruit) and juice. Water is always available. Please let us know if there are any allergy issues. We do not work with nuts of any type in any of our kids classes.

It is always exciting when the parent/guardian comes back at 12:15 to watch the kids finishing up their projects and take pictures. The kids are always so proud to show off their accomplishments. Please let us know during check-in who will be doing the pick-up.

We are looking forward to seeing kids who have taken classes with us before (please note that class projects will be different than in previous years) and look forward to meeting new kids camp students.

Recipe - Focaccia Bread
Focaccia is such an easy homemade bread. It is mixed by hand in a bowl and doesn't require any kneading. You can make it simple with just sprinkling some olive oil and salt and pepper or make it even tastier with a sprinkle of chopped herbs, chopped garlic and grated cheese.

Give this recipe a try - I am sure you will add it to your go-to recipes! Enjoy!
