Host a private class either in the comfort of your own home, or perhaps at a community center, work conference room, or church hall and have your cake and eat it too!

What Kind of Classes Are Offered?

This type of event can be customized based on your preferences. Please fill out a private class/event quote form, choose the date, dessert type (e.g., cake, cupcakes, cookies, etc.), describe what type of design you would like, how many participants will be present, and include the event location.

Pricing:

Cake Classes

  • Base price: $500 for up to 3 participants
  • Additional participants: $125/person

Cookie and Cupcake Classes

  • Base price: $500 for up to 6 participants
  • Additional participants: $70/person

The prices above may vary based on event location and complexity of design.

What Ages Can Participate?

Classes can be designed for participants of all ages and skill levels, however, anyone under 12 must be accompanied by an adult to help assist with decoration. The adult assistant does NOT need a separate ticket if they do not want to decorate their own desserts.

What to Expect for Decorating Classes:

We will supply all the necessary materials to make the dessert. This would include the baked, but undecorated treat, any frosting/icing that is required, food coloring, piping bags, piping tips, decorating tools, turntables, and boxes for the finished treats. You will have the use of the decorating tools during class and the tools will be collected at the end of class. I do not sell any decorating tools, although I would be more than happy to direct you where you can purchase your own tools after the class.

Classes will last approximately 2 hours (although the class length will depend on the chosen treat/decoration) with step-by-step instructions for creating the design. All guests will make the same general design(s), although individual creativity is certainly encouraged with the provided supplies.

Where Can the Event be Held?

Private classes/events are available anywhere in the Chicagoland area. The instructor, Sara, will travel to your event location.

Private Classes/Events Policies:

  • The private event is confirmed with the receipt of a 50% deposit or payment in full. Deposits are non-refundable.
  • A final head count will be needed at least one week prior to any event so remaining balances can be paid and supplies/desserts can be prepared.
  • The client is responsible for disclosing any food allergies and/or special requests at the time of purchase. We are able to accommodate gluten-free options.

Recommendations for the Host:

  • Please ensure there is enough space for each guest. Every person needs to sit or stand comfortably at a table/counter with plenty of room for decorating tools and a dessert.
  • The instructor will schedule 30 minutes before and after the decorating event for setup and cleaning time.
  • Events are BYOB. Small snacks and waters will be provided.
