 The Class Sale is on! Now through December 18th our classes are 50% off when using the special code FM20 when registering. The discount applies to all of our regular classes on the schedule - including some great holiday classes this month. The sale does not apply to kids classes, special events or visiting instructor classes. With the sale, think of bringing a friend (as a gift for you both) and introduce them to the fun of Make It Sweet classes!

We welcome kids 8 to 12 years old in our regular classes as long as they are accompanied by a participating adult and teens are welcome to take classes independently. Because of limited space, we only allow paid participants in the classroom during class. We do list some classes as specifically BYOB and while we don't limit the age of attendees, because of more open drinking (and merriment), those classes are more suitable for adults only. Adults age 21 and up are welcome to bring adult beverages to enjoy during any class.

There are some new classes to register for as well as our growing list of regular classes. So many options!

We are grateful for all of our class participants and hope that you are delighting your friends and family with all of the treats that you have learned to make!

Feel free to share this info and code with friends and family!
Classes make a great gift!

Make It Sweet
Is Your Gingerbread House
Headquarters!
If you are wanting to decorate a gingerbread house we have the tools, pieces, parts, candies and decorations to make your house beautiful!

We have cookie cutter sets if you want to make your own dough, cut it out and bake it. If you don't have the time to do all of that, we have a small and large gingerbread set as well as a variety of fully contained kits to choose from. And if constructing the house has you a little nervous, the Make It Sweet Elves have been working around the clock putting together a large gingerbread house that is all ready for decorating. We have loads of different types of candies to choose from for decorating along with the icing glue and of course sprinkles!

If you are having a party or event, add gingerbread decorating - it is a fun activity for all ages. If you are hosting and need multiple houses just let us know and we can have them ready for you.

Come see us for all of your gingerbread needs this holiday season!

Kid's Classes
Our own Chef Christy is teaching some classes specifically for kids when they are out of school for Winter break - there are still a few spots left in the Frozen themed Cookie Decorating on 1/3.

There are more Kids Classes scheduled for Spring Break too - Dinosaur Cookies on 3/17 and Cupcake Decorating on 3/18.

Our kids classes are all drop-off classes - making the classroom a kids only space (other than the instructor, assistants and teenage helpers). The classes are geared for kids ages 6 - 11. Please note that kids classes are not included in our class sale as they are already specially priced.
Recipe - Sticky Toffee Pudding
The title does not do justice to this delicious dessert. Contrary to the name - it is not a pudding like we Americans think of a pudding, it is instead a rich cake that is sweetened by chopped dates that give this cake so much flavor. Then there is the butter, brown sugar sauce that goes over the top and seeps into the cake - yum - that is where the sticky part of the name comes from. It is definitely a decadent dessert - perfect for the holidays or for gifting. This all comes together very easily and the recipe makes 12 small ramekins - enough for gifting and then some leftover to enjoy!


Trail of Lights
We are so excited to be a part of the Austin Trail of Lights ! Come and see us working on our gingerbread decorating demonstration in the Candy Land area at the end of the Trail. The houses and trees and landscape that we decorate will all be part of a gingerbread village that we will be adding to every day up through 12/23. We will also have a booth right outside the back of Candy Land with some sweet treats - candies, cake parfaits, giant cookies - gingerbread house kits and more! Be sure to drop by and say hello.
