We want to celebrate your graduation from Kindergarten! Join us for a delicious cake decorating class. Each child will be given their own cake, instructed in icing and decorating.

More than one child from a family may attend, but they must be registered seperately. Please be sure to include any food allergies when reigistering. Since children will be decorating their own cakes, this class will get messy, be sure to dress kids accordingly. Each child will need a parent or responsible older person (grandparent, sibling, aunt, friend) present during the program.
