If you’ve been searching for the perfect holiday night out — something cozy, creative, and full of laughter — your search ends here. The HIVE MARKET in Cincinnati’s Cheviot DORA District is teaming up with the talented team at Maribelle Cakery for an unforgettable Sip & Cookie Decorating Class on Wednesday, November 12th, from 6–8 PM.
This event brings together everything we love about the holiday season: the scent of fresh-baked cookies, the joy of learning something new, and the simple happiness that comes from gathering around the table with good food, drinks, and friends — old and new.
A Night of Creativity, Connection, and Cocktails
Led by Maribelle Cakery’s expert decorator, you’ll learn the secrets to designing and icing three show-stopping cookies:
- A hand-piped snow-dusted evergreen,
- A cozy winter sweater cookie with intricate detailing, and
- A beautifully crafted pinecone and greenery cookie that looks almost too pretty to eat.
Each cookie design was chosen to capture the timeless charm of the season — elegant, natural, and beautifully detailed — while still being beginner-friendly.
And because no holiday evening is complete without a little cheer, guests will enjoy a curated tasting flight of Hive Craft Cocktails — handcrafted infusion kits made right here in Cincinnati. Expect seasonal favorites that pair perfectly with the event’s festive vibe — think citrus, spice, and everything nice.
Appetizers, Ambiance & Holiday Cheer
The HIVE MARKET will also be serving up light appetizers and small bites, the perfect way to enjoy a relaxed evening surrounded by local makers, twinkle lights, and holiday décor. It’s the kind of night where conversation flows as easily as the cocktails, and laughter fills the air.
Whether you’re coming solo for a creative escape, planning a date night, or rounding up friends for a girls’ night out, this event offers something special for everyone.
No Experience Needed — Just Bring Your Holiday Spirit
Don’t worry if you’ve never decorated cookies before — that’s the beauty of this class. Maribelle Cakery’s talented instructor will guide you step-by-step, from icing consistency to detailed piping techniques. By the end of the night, you’ll have three edible works of art ready to take home (or gift, if you can resist keeping them for yourself).
Each guest will receive:
- All decorating supplies and materials
- Step-by-step instruction
- A curated Hive Craft Cocktails tasting
- Appetizers provided by the HIVE MARKET
- Gift packaging for your finished cookies
A Celebration of Local Flavor & Community
At its heart, this event is about more than cookies — it’s about connection. It’s about slowing down for one evening to celebrate creativity, community, and the joy of shared experiences. The HIVE MARKET was built on that very idea: supporting local makers, bringing people together, and creating moments that feel like home.
So, grab your favorite people — or just bring yourself — and join us for a night that promises delicious fun, festive vibes, and a little sparkle of holiday magic.
