Cookie-decorating classes
Recently, I was invited to attend a workshop at fish school, located at fishcake Hawaii (307C Kamani St.). Fish school offers a range of arts classes, including ceramics, jewelry making, painting and more.
I attended “Nail It,” during which we learned tips and tricks for decorating sugar cookies. All materials were provided. New workshops are added frequently to the schedule. The next Nail It class is from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 19 and will feature Christmas-themed cookie decorations.
