Celebrate the season with a hands-on cookie decorating class focused on cozy fall designs. Professional decorator Stephanie Harkin leads step-by-step instruction on royal icing basics, including outlining, flooding, stiff-consistency details, and wet-on-wet techniques for eye-catching patterns. Each participant decorates eight cookies using provided tools and materials, then takes home the recipes and a box for safe transport. This beginner-friendly session is open to ages 13 and up. Expect a little mess, so an apron is recommended, and long hair should be tied back. The class runs about 2 to 2.5 hours, and timing may vary due to the interactive format. Enrollment is priced per person and each attendee needs their own ticket. A minimum of four students is required, with a maximum of eight; if the minimum is not met, a full refund is issued. Participants also receive a 5% same-day discount on supplies and tools at Fran’s Cake and Candy. Stephanie brings more than 20 years of experience, including work in three local bakeries, instruction of over 150 students as a Wilton instructor, and several first-place awards in local baking and decorating competitions. She has been part of the Fran’s team for over seven years and is known for a patient, approachable style that builds confidence and encourages exploration of new techniques. Cancellation policy: full refunds or credits are available at least five days in advance; credits are offered for changes made after that window but at least 48 hours ahead; no credits are available within 48 hours of the class.
