A few quick details
We’ve got you totally covered on supplies—cupcakes, frosting, and tools are all included, and we’ll even send you home with a recipe and instruction guide so you can keep the magic going. Just make sure to wear some comfy, closed-toe shoes since we’ll be on our feet and getting creative. We also definitely recommend bringing along an apron to keep things tidy!
