A cookie decorating party is a fantastic way to bring friends and family together for some creative fun, and with a pre-purchased cookie decorating kit, it’s a breeze to host! Our kits come with pre-baked cookies, icing bags, sprinkles, and boxes, so all you need to do is set up and enjoy. Here’s how to host a stress-free cookie decorating party with your kit.
Step 1: Set Up the Decorating Station
Arrange a comfortable and inviting decorating station. Cover the table with a disposable tablecloth for easy cleanup. Ensure each guest has a plate or tray to work on. Cookie decorating can get messy quite quickly especially with young kids so keep plenty of paper towels or wet wipes close by.
Step 2: Unbox and Prep Your Decorating Kit
Open up your cookie decorating kit and lay out all the items. Take stock of the pre-baked cookies, icing bags, sprinkles, and boxes included.
Step 3: Kick Off with a Quick Demo
Start with a brief demonstration on how to use the items in the kit. Show basic techniques like outlining, flooding, and adding sprinkles. This helps everyone feel more confident, especially if they’re new to cookie decorating.
Step 4: Get Decorating and Have Fun!
Now, it’s time to let creativity flow! Encourage guests to try different designs, mix and match colors, and just enjoy the process. Play some background music to set a fun atmosphere, bring out the snacks and take lots of photos to capture the memories.
Step 5: Personalize Your Cookie Boxes
While the cookies are drying, invite your guests to personalize their own boxes from the kit. For younger kits you can assemble the boxes before the event. Set up a mini craft station with markers, stickers, ribbon, and other embellishments so everyone can decorate their boxes to match their cookies or add a personal touch. This step not only keeps the fun going while the icing sets, but it also makes for a beautiful presentation when guests take their creations home.
Step 6: Pack Up Goodie Boxes
Once the cookies are dry and the boxes are decorated, it’s time to pack up! Guests can place their cookies in the personalized boxes, ready to take home. It’s a sweet ending to a fun party and each guest gets to take their edible party bag home!
Tips for a Smooth Cookie Decorating Party:
- Keep It Simple: The beauty of a decorating kit is the simplicity. Don’t feel pressured to go overboard—what’s included is already plenty to have a great time!
- Encourage Creativity: Remind everyone there’s no right or wrong way to decorate their cookies or their boxes—it’s all about having fun.
- Relax and Enjoy: With everything ready to go, you can focus on enjoying the moment with your guests.
Hosting a cookie decorating party with a pre-purchased kit makes for an easy, fun, and memorable experience for all. So set up, unbox, and get decorating! Happy hosting!
