Love is in the Air: Sugar Cookie Decorating Class

The perfect date night or Galentine's Day activity with your bestie; come decorate a set of 6 Valentine's Day themed sugar cookies with me for a fun, hands-on evening at Iowa Distilling Company. This isn’t one of those “here are some cookies, figure it out” classes. I’ll walk you through each step with live demos, showing you exactly where and how to pipe, how to wrangle royal icing when it goes rogue, and how to get clean, confident designs. You’ll practice piping, learn troubleshooting tricks, and you’ll leave with both my sugar cookie and royal icing recipes so you can keep creating at home. All cookies, icing, tools, and supplies are provided—just bring an apron if you like. You’ll also get access to an Instagram-worthy photo area (complete with props) so you can snap the perfect shot of your edible masterpieces. And yes, you’ll take everything home in a windowed cookie box so your creations stay safe and look as good as they taste. Perfect for beginners and experienced decorators alike. Come for the cookies… stay for the fun, the learning, and a delicious cocktail—or mocktail from Iowa Distilling Company. ** an additional charge of $2.40 will be added to your registration to cover Square's credit card processing fees**

Join us for an engaging morning at Holland Farms, a senior living community known not only for its welcoming atmosphere but also for its incredible catering. This breakfast is a chance to connect with fellow members, enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal, and gain practical insight you can apply immediately to your business.

During the program, we’ll explore why client experience is your most powerful marketing strategy. While advertising can create quick wins, long-term financial stability comes from growing your customer base intentionally and sustainably. The strongest businesses aren’t constantly chasing new leads — they focus on serving their current customers so well that referrals drive business growth. 

This conversation will focus on:

• How exceptional client experiences drive retention
• Why referrals create steady, sustainable growth
• Understanding your business capacity and marketing accordingly
• ​Simple ways to elevate the experience you already provide

Whether you’re a small business owner, leader, or service provider, this session will challenge you to rethink marketing through the lens of experience and relationships.

We look forward to welcoming you to Holland Farms for a meaningful morning of connection, learning, and great food.
