Spring pastels, sweet florals and trending styles make this class so much fun! Chef Melissa will walk you through step-by-step how to make beautiful sugar cookies.  The class will incorporate decorating methods and techniques using different piping and flooding techniques with royal icing. You'll  leave the class with the skills you will need to create these tasty and ornate sweets at home. At the end of the class each baker will go home with a packet full of recipes and their own decorated cookies!
