Festive Biscuit Decorating Workshop

Allow around 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the designs and your group. A shorter session suits a Christmas social, while a longer slot gives more time for detail. We'll agree the running time before you book.

The format can work for small teams and larger corporate groups. Workshops for up to 500 people exist, but that isn't a standard capacity for every venue or delivery team. Share your headcount so we can check staffing, table space and whether to use separate sessions.

An indoor office or hired venue can work well. You'll need tables and chairs with enough space for each person's materials. There's no kitchen requirement because we won't be baking. We don't recommend an outdoor setup, where weather can affect the icing and food handling.

The workshop includes pre-baked biscuits, icing, edible decorations, decorating tools, table covers, instruction and take-home boxes. We'll set out the biscuit quantity and any agreed extras in your proposal, so you know what your team will receive.

Arrange the room and furniture, then send us your headcount and any dietary or access requirements. We'll also check handwashing facilities and access for unloading. Participants don't need to bring equipment, but sleeves that stay clear of the icing will help.

As a planning guide, allow 30 to 60 minutes before and after the workshop. Larger groups may need a different access window, so we'll agree this with you and your venue. Keep that time separate from the participant session.

It's a seated workshop, but that alone doesn't make it accessible to everyone. Tell us about step-free access, table clearance, visual support or grip assistance your colleagues need. We'll discuss simpler decorating options and check which adjustments we can provide before booking.

Ask before booking so we can check the biscuits, icing and decorations together. Vegan alternatives may be possible, but gluten-free options aren't standard. We can't assume an alternative is free from allergen traces, so we'll check ingredient and cross-contact information for your group's needs.

Yes, particularly when you want people to chat without speaking in front of the whole group. Seating colleagues together gives them something easy to talk about while they decorate. However, a full workshop needs more time than a quick opening icebreaker.

Yes, ask about adding a shared design task. Each table can choose a colour palette or plan a set of biscuits together. Otherwise, the standard approach centres on individual decorating, with conversation rather than scores.

There's no oven work or hot baking equipment, but food handling still needs care. We'll check ingredient information and discuss the venue setup before the session. Your instructor explains how to use the tools and handle the materials. Please raise serious allergies early so we can assess suitability.

Yes, take-home boxes are provided for your decorated biscuits. Your instructor will explain how to pack them without damaging fresh icing. You can keep them or give them as gifts, with storage advice based on the biscuits and icing supplied.

A hosted virtual version is possible in this type of workshop, but it needs separate planning. Ask us to check kit delivery, dietary options and delivery deadlines for your locations. Don't assume remote participation comes with an office booking.

Tell us whether you'd prefer Christmas designs or a broader winter theme, such as snowflakes and stars. We'll check suitable shapes and decorations for your brief. Enquire once you have a date and likely headcount, because ingredients, staffing and any tailored designs need advance planning.
