The Tehachapi Community Congregational Church kicked off the “First Friday” in June with a Drop in & Decorate® party -- organized in just two days! Julie, a pastry chef who recently relocated to Tehachapi from Charleston, SC, assisted the church by baking 120 large sugar cookies and donating them along with the icing to decorate the cookies for the event. She shared this report and photos:
“We had a wonderful turnout. The ages of the people decorating ranged from 2 to over 80! Even our very own Miss Tehachapi showed up and helped decorate! I think the adults had as much or more fun than the children.”
The decorated cookies were donated to the Tehachapi Mountain Boys Home, serving boys ages 12-17 who need a little extra care and guidance while maneuvering through the foster system.
Please go to Julie's own blog post to read more, see photos, and get a great tip for how to color your icing! And, if you're in the neighborhood, the church will be hosting another Drop in & Decorate event over the Tehachapi Mountain Festival weekend. Open to all.
Julie, you're a star! To organize an event in less than a week, make and donate 120 cookies, and get so many people involved is a super achievement! Good luck with your next Drop In & Decorate event, and thanks to everyone at your church for taking part.
