gingerbread house decorating at freshmade nyc

We had a great time last weekend decorating a gingerbread house with Freshmade NYC, a beautiful space in Noho that offers cooking classes for kids, catering and birthday parties. They've partnered with Chloe Doughy (a cookie dough delivery service, amongst other delicious things) for a fantastic lineup of holiday-themed baking classes happening this month. Snowman or confetti cookies, anyone?

I'm all for baking/cooking/snacking with the girls... I don't, however, love cleaning up the mess that accumulates afterwards. Venturing out to do this kind of activity in Freshmade's much nicer and more spacious kitchen than my own was a win-win, and Millie had a ball decorating in class. Viv mostly read books and ate the candy that was supposed to go on the house, and a friend joined to help us decorate and hold the roof together while the "glue" was applied. Such a fun afternoon.

Getting it home in a crowded subway car was another story altogether, but we did in fact make it with house intact! Whew. Just another fun way to spend this holiday season. Thanks, Freshmade NYC!
