Despite the association, sugar cookies are not just for Christmas. On October 25, Julie Veenstra, owner of her own baking company, taught a Halloween themed cookie decorating class for students, faculty, and community members. If anyone is interested in learning how to perfectly ice a sugar cookie, Veenstra will be teaching two more classes for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Veenstra makes black icing in front of the class while explaining each step she takes. Each student was given a recipe for the icing as well. They were already given bags of white and pink icing before the class started.
