About this Class

• This class is for anyone looking to learn decorating basics with buttercream or just to simply have fun!

•  I provide everything you will need from cupcakes, icing, sprinkles, and a take home box to take your awesome creations home in - I just need YOU! Each decorator gets 6 cupcakes, buttercream icing, sprinkles, and all the tools necessary to create fun holiday designs. Everything is prepped right before class – so no baking or icing mixing required. Just decorate!

• The class can be held in the privacy of your own home, corporate/work office, etc.

• A minimum of 6 people are required to book all private classes

• To make sure your private class gets booked on my calendar, make sure to do so ASAP. Once payment is received in full, that reserves your time and date for the class. If no payment is received at least 2 weeks prior to your event date, I can no longer guarantee the date. The class will not be reserved, and I will not be able to teach the class. 

• I will need at least an hour before the class to set up the class and make sure everything is good to go prior to class beginning.

 FAQ

 What will I be doing in the class?

Besides having the most fun ever? We will be going over some cupcake/buttercream facts, decorating techniques and you will be decorating your very own set of cupcakes.

Do I need to know how to bake?

Nope! No baking history required. I will have the cupcakes and icing pre-made for you.

What will we learn in class?

You’ll learn different decorating techniques depending on the class theme such as using different piping tips to achieve certain designs, how to use candies, sprinkles, and royal icing transfers to add to your designs. I want to keep this simple, but also fun. My goal is for you to learn these designs so that for the holidays you can take this back to your family and friends and have fun recreating them!

 What do I need to bring?

Nothing but a smile! Everything will be provided for you. All you need to do is join us and have fun! Messy decorator? You can bring your own apron or just wear easy-to-wash clothing. If you wear glasses, I'd encourage you to bring them as well. Oh – and bring your phone – I love photos!

What age is best for classes?

Our classes are for almost any age! From youngsters to grandparents - come on in and have some cookie fun with us! Our in-person classes are great for any age; however, this class is best for kids ages 10 & up. Kiddos under 16 will need a parent taking the class as well. If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, these designs are simple and fun to achieve. So you can take what you learned in class and take them home to teach your child.

Can just my child take the class?

We ask that all parents also attend the classes with their children under 16. A parent must also purchase a ticket and take the class as well - but I promise you this - it's super fun for all involved!

What will I bring home?

By the end of the class, you will have created a set of gorgeous cupcakes ready to go in their own box. I’ll send you an Amazon link with a list of the tools we used in class so that you can recreate these cookies at home. And of course, you’ll have new skills, memories, and fun!

 I signed up for a class but can't make it? 

Life happens! So that’s why I allow you to cancel up to 7 days before the class. You can always transfer your spot to a friend or family member. Any cancelation after the 7 days will be a class credit redeemable for up to 1 Year from the credit issue date. Please read below for the COVID-19 Cancelation Policies.

 Things to Bring

 Wondering what you need to bring to have a successful time decorating? Well – nothing’s required – but here’s the things I’d recommend if you’d like to elevate your experience!

·         Bring an apron! Things can get messy when you’re workin’ with buttercream – so grab an apron (bonus points if it’s cute – I’ll definitely be asking where you got it).

·         Bring your glasses! I do a live demo in class, but if things get blurry far away, seeing glasses may be a great bet.

·         Bring your phone! I love it when students take pictures throughout class – so bring a phone!

·         Bring a mask if you’d like! These classes follow the state health guidelines, but if you’d like to wear a mask throughout class – please do!

·         Bring a good attitude! Cupcakes are fun, but they're also challenging! A good attitude makes all the difference.

 About My Bakery

 Who doesn’t love getting out and doing something fun while also eating delicious treats!? That’s what Kristen’s Kreations is all about!

 These classes are based in Chester County and cater to the beginner decorator or people just looking to have fun learning a new skill. Whether you just want a fun date, a girls-or-guys-night-out or just want to explore what decorating is on your own - we have a seat for you.

 For our classes, all you will need to bring is yourself (and an apron if you are a messy decorator), and I’ll take care of the rest. Oh – and bring eyeglasses so you can see the live demo if your eyesight is anything like mine. You will get a set of pre-baked cupcakes (pretty tasty if I do say so myself) as well as all the supplies you will need to decorate them during the 45 minute - 1 hour class. You will leave the class with your very own box of your stunning cupcakes!

 A little about me – I’ve been baking since I was little and then of course it became my passion! I ended up going to Culinary School and getting my Pastry Arts Degree and have worked in this career ever since. My favorite themes to decorate are (honestly, any!) It’s such a relaxing outlet and I love what I do. Who wouldn’t love making delicious things?! It’s the sweetest job in the world!

 Oh yeah - I have classes throughout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to sign up for my newsletter below so you can get in on the action!
