FAQ's
Are the classes allergy-friendly?
Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that cupcakes, buttercream, or other supplies are free from common allergens. Recipes may contain eggs, dairy, and wheat, and my kitchen is not nut-free. Cross-contact with allergens is also possible. Please keep this in mind before registering if you or someone in your party has food allergies or sensitivities.
Why aren't younger children able to participate?
Floral cupcake decorating involves specialized piping techniques that require focus, patience, and a fair amount of hand strength and coordination. The skills can be challenging, even for adults who are new to decorating!
Younger children may find it difficult to hold and control the piping bags, which can be quite large and require steady pressure to create the different flowers. The class also moves through several techniques, so participants need to be able to follow instructions, practice independently, and keep up with the group.
Because I keep my classes small to provide personalized instruction and hands-on help to everyone, I'm unable to provide the extra one-on-one assistance younger children may need.
I want everyone to have an enjoyable and successful experience, so these classes are best suited for participants who are ready to focus, practice, and take on a new creative challenge.
Why does the class cost what it does?
Although the class itself is 2.5 hours, quite a bit goes into preparing for each session before you arrive as well as work after you leave.
Each class involves approximately 4.5 hours of preparation, including baking the cupcakes, making and coloring multiple shades of buttercream, and individually weighing and filling the piping bags for each person so everything is ready for you to use. After class, an there's additional couple hours for cleanup. I also spend time marketing and updating, filming demonstrations, and planning the lessons to help you learn each technique step by step.
The class price also covers the cupcakes, buttercream, decorating supplies, equipment, venue rental cost, and booking and payment processing fees plus insurance.
I put a great deal of care into making sure each student has everything they need to learn in a comfortable, small-group setting, with hands-on instruction and personalized attention throughout the class.
My goal is for you to enjoy a fun, creative experience, learn new skills, and leave feeling proud of the beautiful cupcakes you've decorated yourself!
Do you offer classes at other locations?
I’ve done quite a bit of research into other venues, but many are too expensive and would require me to raise class prices. I want to keep classes as affordable as possible while still covering expenses.
Unfortunately, many churches and YMCA locations don’t allow paid classes, and community centers often require you to be a resident or have a local sponsor.
If you’d like to have a class closer to you and are willing to sponsor me at a venue in your neighborhood, I’d be happy to look into the available options! I’m always open to exploring new locations when possible. Or if you know a location you would like me to inquire with, I would be happy to. Just send me an email to CakeandCookieArt@yahoo.com.
Do you offer private parties or corporate events?
Absolutely! I’d be happy to discuss hosting a private cupcake decorating class for your group, whether it’s a corporate team outing, a girls’ get-together, or another special occasion.
A few things to keep in mind when planning your event:
Group size: A minimum of 8 participants is required.
Space: Each participant needs approximately 2 feet of table space to comfortably work on their cupcakes.
Venue: The location must allow outside vendors and food.
Pricing: Prices may vary depending on the group size, location, and event details.
Insurance: If your venue requires it, I can provide proof of insurance coverage.
If you’re interested in arranging a private event, I’d love to hear from you! Please email me at CakeandCookieArt@yahoo.com so we can discuss the details and explore the possibilities.
Can I save my cupcakes for a later date?
Absolutely! The cupcakes and buttercream are freshly made, so you can freeze them and enjoy them later. Simply place them in an airtight container, such as a Rubbermaid container, and then carefully cover the container with Press’n Seal/plastic wrap to help protect them in the freezer. They can be frozen for up to 8 weeks.
** A note for the Christmas class: The gold decorative balls used on the cupcakes will turn whitish when frozen. If you plan to freeze your cupcakes, just let me know and I can provide alternative sprinkles that are better suited for freezing.
