Enriching Lives
Here at Bayside, we value our abilities in offering unparalleled opportunities for family fun and togetherness. Time with loved ones at Bayside is precious, whether it’s kayaking with the kids, playing golf or tennis with friends, or swaying with neighbors to the sounds of a great outdoor concert. But, let’s be honest. Once in a while you need to take a little time for yourself…
Imagine grabbing a cup of coffee and slipping out the door to greet the morning sun. Hop on your bike and ride to the Point to discover a new hobby or ignite an undiscovered passion. Start your day by sharing your personal story in creative writing, enhancing your wellness with a healthy cooking class, or learning to arrange flowers beautifully. Spend a quiet afternoon learning unique local history or wind down another beautiful day in Fenwick Island with a wine tasting by the bay.
As an innovative year-round program, Bayside Institute enriches lives by giving our members the gift of meaningful “me” time. Learn new skills, explore new subjects, embrace hobbies, and share wisdom – in any number of fascinating interest areas. This is about you. “Me” time is priceless.

FAQ
What will I be doing in the class?
Besides having the most fun ever? We will be going over some cookie facts, decorating techniques and you will be decorating your very own set of six cookies that you will take home with you that day.
Will we be doing any baking in this class?
No, this is not a baking class. The cookies will be freshly baked for you but we will not be doing any actual baking. While we will discuss a few helpful tips for baking your cookies, this class is specifically for teaching decorating techniques.
Do I need to know how to bake?
Nope! We will have the cookies pre-made for you and will give you the recipe so you can create your own on your own!
What will we learn in class?
You’ll learn what goes into preparing royal icing, the value of different icing consistencies, how to color icing, and tricks to fill piping bags. You’ll also learn lots of different decorating techniques such as outlining, wet-on-wet, adding dimension, and more. Techniques will vary depending on the class and can be customized to your needs.
What do I need to bring?
Nothing! Everything will be provided for you including our rather tasty sugar cookies. All you need to do is join us and have fun! Messy decorator? You can bring your own apron or just wear easy-to-wash clothing.
What age is best for cookie classes?
Our in-person classes are great for any age; however, kids under 15 will also need a parent purchasing a ticket and taking the class as well. To clarify – all children must have their own ticket and all adults must have their own tickets. Child admission is not included with an adult.
Can just my child take the class?
Yup! As long as your child is 15+. For children over 15, you can drop off your child to take the class and return to pick them up in about 2 hours. Due to space restrictions, we do not have room for parents to stand by and watch their children in class. So to clarify, if your kiddo is over the age of 15, they can come by themselves. If they are under 15, both you AND your child will need to purchase a ticket to take the class, but we can promise you this – it’s super fun for all involved!
What will I bring home?
By the end of the class, you will have created a set of six gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 12-24 hours in their own box (or just eat them right away!). And of course, you’ll have new skills, memories, and fun!
I signed up for a class but can’t make it.
We understand that life happens so that’s why we allow you to cancel up to 7 days before the class. You can always transfer your spot to a friend though (and what a nice friend you are). Any cancellation after the 7 days will be a class credit redeemable for up to 1 year from the credit issue date. Please continue to read below for our cancellation policies.
Cancellations
Due to the extensive time it takes prep for each class, we follow a strict cancellation policy.
If you cancel 5 or more days before class: Full refund
If you cancel less than 5 days before class: You’ll receive a credit towards the next class (or you can transfer your ticket to a friend!)
If you’re a no show/no contact (meaning you don’t show up and we don’t hear from you before class time) then we will not be able to offer you a refund or a credit regardless of the circumstances. So please reach out before class starts!
