2024-12-18 18:30 - 21:30 UTC | Pickwick & Cherry Kitchen, 607 S Pickwick, Rear Door, Springfield, MO, 65802, United States
Whether you want to explore the Christmas cookies of the world or win your next cookie swap, we’re baking some of our favorite Christmas cookies from all around the world. We’re hitting every continent in our quest, with Christmas cookies from Germany, Serbia, the Middle East, South Africa, Colombia, Australia, New Zealand, the US and more! It may be a small world, but it has a lot of cookies in it, and darned if we aren’t going to try as many of them as we can!

TICKET TERMS, POLICIES, & USEFUL INFORMATION:
By purchasing this ticket, we agree that we understand that we are joining the Pickwick & Cherry Cooking Club, a private, fraternal organization, and that all food will be prepared by members of the club. We understand that cooking is an activity that involves some inherent danger, including but not limited to cuts, burns, slips and falls, and other risks, and we waive all liability and hold Pickwick & Cherry harmless in the unlikely event we are injured.
We understand and agree to the Cancellation Policy, which states that “Class reservations are like theatre tickets – the show must go on! Therefore, if you find that you cannot make it, we strongly encourage you to send someone else in your place. If need to cancel more than 30 days before your class, you may without penalty. If you need to cancel within 30 days, but more than 14 days, you may switch your reservation to any other of our classes with space available (and pay the difference if necessary). If you must cancel within 14 days, you may exchange your reservation only if we can fill your space in the class. We will certainly work with you to find someone to take your space if we can help, but we encourage you to find someone on your own. If we cancel a class due to unforeseen circumstances or lack of interest, we will refund you in full.”
We understand and agree to the Appropriate Attire Policy, which states, “Please wear appropriate clothes for a hands-on cooking experience. We discourage long flow-y sleeves, lots of fringe, anything with glitter, things that stain easily, and anything else impractical for standing and moving on floors that contain drains, grates, uneven surfaces, and potential slippery areas. FLAT SHOES FOR WOMEN ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.”
We understand and agree that COVID-19 transmission and exposure is a potential risk in any setting where people from multiple households are present, and we accept this risk. We also agree to abide by any stated COVID-19 precautions, including but not limited to mask wearing, hand washing, or other precautions that management may deem appropriate.

If you can dream it in gingerbread, we are making it. In this festive hands-on class, we will build indulgent parfaits with our famous gingerbread cake, bake and decorate several styles of European gingerbread cookies, and learn the secrets to assembling gingerbread houses that actually stay standing the first time. Along the way you will pick up piping tricks and decorating skills that make your creations look as good as they taste.
There might even be a little gingerbread-spiced sip to keep the holiday spirit flowing while you work.
Come with friends, bring your creativity, and get ready for an evening filled with sugar, spice, and everything nice.
✨This class is brand-new this year, but our December classes always fill up very quickly, so if you see tickets grab them!

Holiday Cookie Decorating
2025-12-01 18:30 - 20:45, 2025-12-05 18:30 - 20:45, 2025-12-09 18:30 - 20:45, 2025-12-12 18:30, 2025-12-14 13:00 - 15:45 (America/Chicago)
Step into a winter wonderland of sugar and spice! In this festive hands-on class, you’ll roll out buttery sugar cookie dough, cut classic holiday shapes, and learn the art of royal icing. With a little guidance (and plenty of creativity), you’ll decorate your own collection of cookies—think twinkling Christmas trees, cheerful candy canes, sparkling snowflakes, ornaments, stockings, and more.
Your cookies will be boxed up so they travel safely home once they are dry the next day, so they’re perfect for sharing at parties, gifting, or saving for Christmas Eve (if you can resist nibbling them first!). If you can’t make it back the next day for pickup, don’t worry because we have take-home boxes ready for you. (It’s a little risky, but we know a lot of you come from quite a distance!)
This class is a perfect way to celebrate the season with friends, coworkers, or family. Bring your creativity, your holiday cheer, and, if you’d like, a bottle of something bubbly or festive to sip while you work.
✨ Note: This class always sells out quickly, so grab your tickets before they disappear!

The Grand European Christmas Bake
2025-12-06 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Step into the warmth and wonder of The Grand European Christmas Bake, our most beloved and elaborate class of the holiday season! Once each December, we gather for an afternoon of baking, storytelling, and celebration as we recreate the showstoppers of Europe’s Christmas tables: France’s magnificent Bûche de Noël (ours includes an almost irresponsible amount of chocolate, butter, and cream), Germany’s Stollen, where cinnamon-spiced dough studded with brandied raisins and house-candied orange peel hides a roll of almond marzipan symbolizing the Christ child, Italy’s famous Panettone, a revelation if you’ve never had one fresh from an artisan bakery like ours, and of course our Old World Fruitcake, absolutely loaded with rum-soaked fruit, pecans, butter, molasses, and Christmas spirit.
This is more than a class; it’s a once-a-year celebration of tradition, hospitality, and festive splendor. You’ll learn classic European techniques, discover the legends behind each bake, and take home an assortment of magnificent confections perfect for gifting or savoring yourself.
Since it’s only offered once a year, The Grand European Christmas Bake always sells out quickly. Reserve your spot early, gather a few friends, and BYOB if you’d like to toast your creations with something merry!
$139 per personIncludes all ingredients, instruction, and four classic European holiday treats to take home.

BYOB

If you’d like to get into the holiday spirit with something sparkling or spirited, bring it if you like. Our personal favorite to pair with festive holiday treats is Rosa Regale, but whatever you like. We have glasses!
