ALERT!!!
This will fill up FAST!
What’s better than cozying up with a good book and a mug of cocoa? Decorating cookies! (And then eating them with said cocoa while reading a book.)

In this 2-hour class, we’ll cover the basics to sugar cookies (so – yes, it’s beginner friendly!), do some piping practice with royal icing, talk about how to strategize the best ways to decorate sugar cookies, and cover the general concepts around dough and icing! Everything you’ll need is provided in class along with a live in-person instructor – just bring a smile (and a friend to make memories with!)

This class we will get cozy with 4 adorable designs and 3 bags of icing each. You’ll leave with a full set of decorated cookies in a bakery box, and a whole lot of skills and tips and tricks to take with you!

This class is for the beginner cookier or for the person who is just curious about what cookie decorating is all about! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or if you’re trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! Danielle, owner of “Best Cookies in Jax” winner Little Red Cottage Cookies, will take you step-by-step through these 4 designs.

This class is good for ages 10+, but if you’d like to purchase an add-on kit for kids at home, you can purchase a kit with the DIY Kit ticket option. The kits are great for kids (or anyone) at home, plus – we’ll send you the class PowerPoint so you can teach them yourself! But this class is for YOU to relax, connect, and get in your creative zone.

Your first drink at the cafe is included!

🍷 Sip & Swirl: Wine-Infused Watercolor Workshop 🍇

🍷 Sip & Swirl: Wine-Infused Watercolor Workshop 🍇

Join watercolor artist Teresa Cook for a unique and playful painting experience where wine becomes both the medium and the muse! In this creative workshop, we’ll paint using actual Cabernet, Sweet Red, and Merlot alongside traditional watercolors to explore rich stains, flowing textures, and warm, earthy hues that only wine can create.

Participants will enjoy:

🎨 Wine Painting Techniques – Learn how different wines react on paper, how to layer wine with watercolor, and how to create beautiful washes, textures, and expressive marks.

🍷 Sip While You Paint – Enjoy tasting the same wines you’re painting with as you loosen up, relax, and let creativity flow.

🖼️ A Finished Wine-Washed Artwork – Leave with your own expressive wine-infused painting, full of character and story.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist looking for a fresh twist, this workshop blends art, atmosphere, and a little bit of magic. Grab a friend, uncork your inspiration, and join us for an unforgettable creative night!
