Fun little class at Sweet Pete's! We arrived early in case parking was a problem. The shop was still decorated for the holidays and it looked AMAZING! After walking around to check out all the rooms we decided to grab a quick bite to eat before our class. We had the totchos, a fried chicken sandwich, and a cheesesteak sandwich to eat and we tried the sangria and old fashioned for drinks. All the food came out hot and tasted great! Because of the sweet shop theme, the cocktails all lean to the sweet side of the spectrum, but the bartenders were super accommodating and made our drinks less sweet. Shout out to Daniel, his traditional old fashioned was delish! Will taught our class and he clearly loves his work! It was fun to watch the demonstration and we even had a chance to shape our own candy canes. Don't rush your visit, plan to grab a bite to eat and spend a little extra time wandering around the building and checking out all the rooms.

My 10 year old daughter...
My 10 year old daughter and I enjoyed this experience. Not only did we get to make our own candy canes, but the candy shop itself is also worth exploring!

Go to Sweet Pete’s!
Sweet Pete’s is always perfectly and meticulously decorated, and the staff is very friendly. We have taken 2 classes now, and this was like the other- a staff member did the work and we decorated (or in this case made the shape of the candy canes). Nonetheless, it has always been worth the money. However, I am removing a star because we weren’t on their list despite purchasing tickets at least 2 months in advance. I had to tell the woman at the check-in counter twice that we purchased through Viator (even showing her our tickets) rather than Groupon, twice. She then called someone for help and the other woman sounded very annoyed and didn’t want to let us in the class, but I was able to prove that we pre-paid, so she let us in. Hopefully this was a one-time problem. I’m chalking it up to the busyness of the holidays.

Candy shaping
It was a fun experience. It was a cute date night for me and my hubby. Learning what candy canes are made of and how to shape them was fun 😁 we really enjoyed it

Candy cane making
Most memorable part was shaping the candy into any shape I did like seeing the use of the hook to see how the candy turns to white by adding air
