Who can participate?
Any UC Santa Barbara student, staff, faculty, alumni, or community member can participate. 
 
How much is the workshop and what supplies do I need?
The workshop is FREE, but you will need to BYOCS (Bring Your Own Cookie Supplies)! You’ll find the Cookie Tool List as well as the Sugar Cookie and Royal Icing recipes (available in both English and Spanish) attached below and on our website.

Don’t have a lot of these supplies at home? No worries! Our friends at the Isla Vista Recreation & Parks District have created Cookie kits including several of the supplies and ingredients to make your cookies! These free cookie kits will be available for local participants to pick up on Friday, January 29th from 3-5pm at the St. George Youth Center located at 889 Camino Del Sur, Isla Vista, CA (next to Estero Park). Cookie kits will be available while supplies last and only one per household. Please wear a face mask and practice social distancing when picking up your kit. Receiving a cookie kit prior to the event is not required to participate. 

I have my supplies, now what?
Prep! It’s time to make your cookies and icing. Follow the directions on the recipes and do your best! We encourage all participants to have their cookies and icing ready, so we can spend time decorating with you. We will be decorating heart and lip shaped cookies, but feel free to make whatever shape you’d like!

Tune In! Join the Zoom room at 11am on Saturday, February 6th and get ready for some cookie decorating fun!
