Join us for a heart-filled evening of creativity, sweetness, and fun! In this Valentine’s-themed youth class, kids will roll up their sleeves and dive into the delicious world of dessert decorating. First, we’ll design and decorate festive sugar cookies bursting with love and color. Then, after a tasty dinner break generously provided by our instructor Ms. B, we’ll get back to the fun by crafting adorable Cupid-inspired cake pops. This class is designed for one youth and an adult. Register: https://isd740.ce.eleyo.com/course/717/winter-spring-2026/sweethearts-sugar-art-mini-camp
