Cake Decorating Play Date | Summer Edition | July 19, 2026

Bring your crew and get ready for an afternoon of frosting, fun, and sweet vibes at Dear John. We're teaming up with Taya from Mad Vegan Co for a cake decorating play date in a BIPOC adult affinity space.

This isn't your typical baking class—it's a creative hangout where you'll learn legit techniques while celebrating with your people. Think bold summer colors, playful piping, easy techniques to give your cake texture like a pro, and all the vegan buttercream your Sunday deserves.

You'll create a stunning 4-inch vegan cake: stacking layers with precision, piping that looks bakery-level professional, and bright summer colors. Leave with a gorgeous cake you made yourself, new skills, and the kind of afternoon that reminds you why making things with your hands (and your friends) hits different.

✦ All skill levels welcome · Vegan cake & supplies provided
✦ BIPOC adult affinity space · Light refreshments
✦ Sliding scale entry: $68 -$73
