Channel your inner Jasper Johns or Martha Stewart at a Drop In & Decorate cookies-for-donation event offered in conjunction with RISD Dining and Catering to benefit the Rhode Island Community Food Bank's Kids Cafe program. Popular RISD|CE cooking instructor and food writer Lydia Walshin founded the local nonprofit organization Drop In & Decorate, which has donated more than 10,000 hand-decorated sugar cookies to food pantries, domestic violence shelters, and programs serving families in need nationwide. She teaches several simple techniques for "painting" cookies with flair, using squeeze bottles of colored icing to create edible art. The ultimate goal is to donate the cookies created in class to more than 500 low-income Rhode Island school children for Valentine's Day. No experience necessary; practice cookies will be available and you may decorate as many cookies as you wish. There will also be recipes and cookies for participants to take home. Inside- or outside-the-lines decorating welcome! All materials generously donated by RISD Dining and Catering. Note: Participants are encouraged to "drop in" at their convenience anytime between 1 and 4pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, and adults and children must register separately.
