Guest Chef Cooking Class at Reids Cooking School
TIZ the Season... Holiday Cake Decorating class with Tizzerts
Monday Nov 14 - 5:30-8pm Cost $85
Join me for a very special season cooking class as I host my good friends and Guest chefs, the talented Tiz Benson and Anita Stack of Tizzerts.
That's right, It's time for Tizzerts' quarterly Guest Chef cake decorating class, but this one will take on a bit of a holiday spin and will be just slightly more advanced than the other basic cake decorating classes Tiz and Anita have taught at Reid's this year.
We'll start with a toast to the season with seomthing sparkly and then each participant will watch and learn not only how to use a pastry bag but how to work with fondant for the holidays as well. Decorating ideas for Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas too! You'll experience some real hands-on action by decorating your own cake form in Happy Holiday style.
Cost $85. Email Heidi@reids.com or make your reservations online at www.reids.com
