Making cupcakes typically involves ample kitchen space, proper ingredients, and access to a standard shrink ray. Create pretty pocket-sized cakes by hand with today’s Groupon: for $37, you get a one-time cupcake-decorating class at Creative Cakes & More (a $75.90 value).

Creative Cakes & More gives dessert designers the supplies and know-how they need to transform tasty treats into visual feasts. In the 2.5-hour cupcake-decorating class, baking buffs teach a variety of methods, such as how to make six kinds of buttercream flowers ideal for fancying up treats or boring drywall patches. Sweets scholars receive a fully stocked kit, equipped with frosting tips, piping bags, coloring, icing, and more. The small class size, about 10 students on average, fosters an environment fit for one-on-one attention or a regulation game of frosting tag. All participants take home a dozen self-decorated desserts to enjoy and share. Classes are held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday–Friday, with sessions at 6:15 p.m on Tuesdays and Thursdays added depending on demand.
