Tim Gilmore’s 25th book, When We Tried to Save the Castle, with a foreword by Wayne Wood, is the story of the vast tapestry of life and lives that moved through a house called the Lomax Castle in Jacksonville’s Five Points District. It’s the story of a man who tried to take it apart, piece by piece, to save it. It’s the story of immigrants and spies, love and suicide, herpetologists and hippies and rock n roll. It’s the story of the historic preservation movement, of how we measure history. It’s the story of story itself and how we mark time.

2025-12-14 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Happy Medium Books Cafe, 2724 Park St, Jacksonville, FL, 32205, United States
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!
