Flowers for mom just got a whole lot sweeter with a beautiful (and delicious!) cookie bouquet. In this hands-on workshop, cookie decorator Maggie Glisan will lead you through the step-by-step to creating a lovely collection of cookies starting with all the basics: how to achieve the perfect royal icing consistency for piping and flooding, tips for tinting your icing, and decorating techniques for all levels. Then guests will decorate their own floral set that can then be packaged into a stunning bouquet that (almost) looks too pretty to eat. (Note: this class is geared toward adults.)
Maggie is the owner + creator of Oh Hey Magpie, a local purveyor of custom gifts and goodies. Maggie spent the bulk of her career at Better Homes & Gardens as a designer, art director, and food editor. Entertaining is her love language. She's been hostesting ever since reading her mom's issue of Martha Stewart Living in the early 90s—it was a good thing!—and wants to take the intimidation factor out of having people over. When she's not setting tables, whipping up cheese boards, or illustrating personalized party touches, you can find her at home in Beaverdale watching Ted Lasso with her husband Justin and rescue pup George Stanley.
