Cake Class Hints:

Don't know what to do with all your practice cakes? Give your cakes to someone who would appreciate it! Some suggestions include:

- Your job

- You or your child's school

- Friends / Relatives / Neighbors

- Bus Driver

- Librarians

- Nursing Home / Seniors Center

- Police / Fire Stations

- Hospital / Emergency Room staff

Be sure to ask if it's OK first, and don't forget to include disposable plates, forks, napkins, and a plastic knife to cut the cake!

General Class Info

Arrive a few minutes before the class start time so you can set up your workspace and fill your bags. Class begins promptly at the designated start time.
Bring a towel or plastic tablecloth to cover your workspace.
Please come prepared for each week's class by following the instructions in your book on the "Getting Ready for Lesson" pages. You may also check the Course pages (above tabs) for additional information.
Practicing at home will help reinforce what you learn in class and make you a better decorator.

Any Wilton merchandise to be used in class must be paid for before bringing into the classroom. Please don't bring any store merchandise into the classroom that you have not yet purchased.
Please turn off your cell phone or set it to vibrate during class time. If you must take a call, please take it outside.
Please take all items to be cleaned home with you and don't forget to clean up your space when you are done for the day.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about Wilton products, need assistance in the Wilton aisle, or need extra help with a decorating technique. I'm more than happy to help you!

BAD WEATHER NOTICE: On the day of class, if severe weather drastically reduces traffic safety, the instructor and/or the store will notify you if the class needs to be postponed. You may also call the store two hours before class start time to see if the class is postponed.

We Love Referrals ! ! !

If you're enjoying (or enjoyed) your Wilton cake decorating classes at Jo-Ann, please tell your family & friends! I've gotten several student sign-ups because of referrals from former students - and I sincerely appreciate it! It lets me know that you're enjoying the classes.

Additional Info from Wilton
