Cookies for a Cure 2026
A Weiner Family Fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
When: Sunday, January 25th from 2 pm to 4:30 PM
Where: Lyon Village Community House, 1920 North Highland Street, Arlington, VA 22201
Grab your friends and spend a fun and relaxing Sunday afternoon learning how to simply and easily decorate stunningly beautiful Valentine's Day sugar cookies with Royal Icing. Expert instructors Sylvia Prosak (2023 Arlington County Fair's First Prize Winner for Holiday Cookies) and Janet Weiner will give you step by step instructions to create cookies that will show your love to your special someone!
Each student will receive 8 home-baked cookies ready to be decorated. You can decorate your cookies to look exactly like ours, or use the techniques we will teach you to make your own unique designs.
Delicious heart-shaped sugar cookies, 3 colors of icing, unique Valentine's Day sprinkles and other supplies will be provided. You will also receive a document with our cookie and icing recipes, as well as detailed instructions, tips and tricks for future reference. The class will last for 2 1/2 hours and will include a box to take your treats home in. Please wear old clothes or bring an apron.
-- Prefilled bags of piping-consistency icing, so you can skip the mess of making your own icing at the perfect consistency. (Piping icing is used for fine lines and outlining before flooding.)
-- Prefilled bottles of flooding-consistency icing, so you can skip mixing icing colors too! (Flood icing is used for filling larger areas.)
IMPORTANT: Bring cash or install the Venmo app if you are interested in purchasing a glass of wine or raffle tickets for our fabulous raffle prize.
Due to the generosity of our instructors, 100% of the ticket cost and all monies collected at this event will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Metro DC Chapter. The Weiner family, who has two adult children with CF, is deeply grateful for your support for this event and the quest for a cure for all people with this disease.
