Prepare to spice up your fall with a sweet twist at the Fall Vibes Cookie Decorating Workshop & Thanksgiving Pop-Up Shop! This delightful event is taking place at The Artist Workshop in Lincoln, California, on Thursday, November 21, 2024. And guess what? It’s made the cut for our Thanksgiving Guide 2024 – because who doesn’t love a good cookie decorating session to kick off the holiday season?
A Cookie Lover’s Dream
Picture this: You and your best pals, gathered around a table, armed with piping bags and a rainbow of frostings, ready to turn plain sugar cookies into edible works of art. Sounds like a recipe for fun, right? Well, that’s exactly what you’ll get at this workshop. You’ll be decorating not one, not two, but six gorgeous fall-themed cookies. It’s like Bob Ross meets Betty Crocker but with more sprinkles and fewer “happy little trees.”
Sip and Decorate
We all know that creativity flows better with a little liquid inspiration. That’s why the folks at The Artist Workshop have thought of everything. While you’re channeling your inner cookie artist, you’ll be sipping on a seasonal cocktail. It’s like paint and sip, but you’re working on cookies instead of canvas. And instead of paint, you’re using frosting. Delicious, edible frosting.
Master the Art of Cookie Decorating
This isn’t just about slapping some icing on a cookie and calling it a day. Oh no, my friends. You’re about to become a cookie-decorating pro. The workshop will teach you all the fancy techniques that make those Instagram-worthy cookies look so darn good. We’re talking:
- Piping: Learn to write “Happy Fall Y’all” in perfect cursive… or at least legible print.
- Flooding: Cover that cookie in a smooth layer of icing like a pro.
- Wet-on-wet design: Create those swirly, marbled effects that’ll make your cookies look too good to eat. (But you’ll eat them anyway.)
- Cable-knit detail: You can make a cookie look like your favorite cozy sweater. Mind. Blown.
All-Inclusive Cookie Fun
The best part? Everything you need will be right at your fingertips. The workshop provides all the materials, so you don’t have to raid your pantry or run an emergency to the craft store. They’ve got the cookies, the icing, the tools, and the know-how. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and maybe an empty stomach for cookie “quality control.”
Thanksgiving Pop-Up Shop: Because Why Not?
But wait, there’s more! (Yes, I just used that infomercial line, and I’m not sorry.) While you’re there with frosting on your fingers and pride in your heart from your cookie masterpieces, you can also do some early holiday shopping at the Thanksgiving Pop Up Shop. It’s the perfect opportunity to find unique gifts for those hard-to-shop-for relatives. Or, you know, for yourself. We won’t judge.

Booking Your Spot
Now, before you go running to your calendar to block out this date (and we know you want to), remember a few things. This isn’t a drop-in event. You’ll need to sign up in advance. The good folks at The Artist Workshop have made it easy with a handy link: https://square.link/u/DflReDAc.
But here’s a pro tip: Don’t wait until the last minute to book. These kinds of workshops fill up faster than a plate of cookies at Santa’s house on Christmas Eve.
A Word to the Wise
One last thing: Once you’re in, you’re in. The workshop has a no-refund policy for the week leading up to the class. It makes sense when you consider all the prep work for preparing those cookies and materials. But don’t worry too much if something comes up and you can’t make it. They’ll give you credit for a future class. It’s like a rain check but for cookies.
So, there you have it, folks. A fall-themed cookie decorating extravaganza that promises to be as sweet as the treats you’ll create. It’s the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, learn a new skill, and maybe even knock out some early Christmas shopping. Plus, you’ll walk away with six beautifully decorated cookies that you can proudly display on your Thanksgiving table. Or, let’s be real, eat in the car on the way home. We won’t tell.
