Make It Sweet- Cakes, Cake Accessories, Baking Supplies

GENERAL CLASS INFORMATION

We are happy to continue to welcome students back to our classroom. Review our details below designed to keep class participants as safe as possible while enjoying classes at Make It Sweet.

IN-PERSON CLASS RULES AND INFORMATION
Our hands-on classes are geared for all skill levels. Children 8 - 12 are welcome to take class along with an accompanying registered adult and teens can take classes on their own.
Classes are project oriented and participants take their completed treats home to enjoy.
We provide aprons and towels to use in class. Students should wear comfortable clothes that they don’t mind possibly getting a little messy (here’s a hint - especially avoid black clothes for baking classes), preferably closed toe, no heel shoes, and please pull back long hair.
We will have waters, sodas and coffee during class and students 21+ are welcome to bring adult beverages to enjoy during class.
Students are seated 2 people per 6’ table, please let us know when you register if you want to be seated with a friend who is also in class.
Mask wearing is optional for all employees, customers, and class participants who are fully vaccinated and strongly recommended for those who are not vaccinated.
Lastly, we have a very flexible policy for canceling or rescheduling classes, so we are serious about telling people who are not feeling well or have recently been exposed to someone with Covid-19 to stay home and reschedule class for a later date.

                         We have a new special tiered discount
             that will apply when you signup for more than one class.
This applies to anytime that you register for multiple classes at the same time -
       multiple classes just for you or classes for you and friends or family.
    There is no special code needed - just register and get the special discount!

                  Register for:
            2 Classes - 10% Discount on BOTH Classes
            3 Classes - 15% Discount on ALL Classes
            4 Classes - 25% Discount on ALL Classes
            8 Classes - 50% on ALL Classes

ONLINE CLASSROOM DETAILS
Even with in-person classes returning, we will continue to add to our online library of classes. When you visit our online platform www.makeitsweetonlineclassroom.com for the first time, you will need to register with your name and email address and then you will be able to see the variety of classes that are available. We have many classes that are available for only $10 each when participants provide all of their own tools, supplies and ingredients. Each class has a preview intro video and class kit sheet so that you can see what you would need before purchasing the class. Recipes, instructions and detailed instructional videos are then available to people who are registered for the class. The beauty of the online class is that you can follow along with the lessons at any time at your convenience and that you can continue to access the information into the future as well.

CLASS KIT BASICS
Occasionally we will try to make class kits available to go with select classes. These kits include the shelf-stable ingredients and critical tools and supplies to complete the project. The kit will give you access at your own convenience to our online classroom and the videos that will walk you step-by-step through the processes of making your sweet (sometimes savory) treats. Also included in each kit is a comprehensive written instruction sheet with recipes and descriptions of techniques. There will be some basic items like perishable ingredients and standard kitchen tools that you will need to complete the projects. Because these kits do not include perishable items, they can generally be shipped (for a flat rate of $6 anywhere in the continental US, or to other locations for the actual shipping cost) so that everyone can experience the fun of our informative online classes. The kits make great gifts – think how fun it would be to coordinate a time with friends and family to virtually work together to make something sweet. We hope you enjoy the flexibility of these kits – and the goodies that you will learn to make and decorate!
