BEE SWEET:  
Honey Tasting and Bee-utiful Cookie Decorating Class

Hosted by:

Dry Creek Beekeeping

Bee-ristas: B'Ann Dittmar + Chase Dittmar

     and

Pies and Cakes by Mackensie

Friday, July 26   |   6-8pm   |   $50 per person

 

Join us for this dual learning experience that begins with a full sensory honey tasting experience, led by Dry Creek Beekeeping. Attendees will utilize all their senses to become honey connoisseurs as they explore the flavors, textures, colors, and aromas of a light, medium, and dark colored honey as well as a creamed, crystallized, and combed honey, to expand their honey horizons. 

Next up, Pies and Cakes by Mackensie will lead attendees in learning the basics of cookie decorating with royal icing on bee-themed cookies.

Skills taught include:

  • Royal Icing Basics (Icing prep done before class)

  • Piping

  • Tipless bags

  • Outlining/flooding

  • Writing with icing

  • Sugar cookie dough tips & tricks

 

Each student will leave with 6 bee-themed decorated cookies (similar to the ones in the photo), a royal icing recipe and a sugar cookie recipe to use at home, and the knowledge to apply these techniques on your own cookies in the future.  Imagine being able to tell your friends, “I made that!”
