Here's your plan for a fun cake decorating workshop in Brooklyn, get creative and enjoy

Cake Club in BK 🎂

At RecCreate Collective in Clinton Hill, NYC, attend a fun cake decorating workshop and personalize your own cake to enjoy or gift.

Cake Decorating

✅ Before you go
• Find a class here: https://lu.ma/reccreatecollective 

💪 Pro tips
• Make sure you go to Grand AVE, not Grand Street
• Make sure to share any allergies or restrictions in advance (our cakes were vegan!)

Head to RecCreate Collective

I finally went to the viral cake decorating workshop I've been

seeing online and made myself a cute little Lorex looking cake.

which is a cake decorating workshop in Brooklyn

hosted by this creativity studio called Recreate Collective,

where you get to be creative and get a sweet treat,

which I'm not sure what took me so long to go.

you're free to decorate your cake however you want.

One of the girls was saying how fun it was doing the things our parents never let us do,

They also have solo days where everyone comes solo with the idea of making friends,

which I definitely want to come back for.

And when I said you get a sweet treat at the end,

I mean you literally get a slice of cake on top of the cake you've decorated.

you get to have your cake and eat it too.

I highly recommend going to one of their classes or events,

as this was one of my favorite classes to date.

Head to The Chatwal Lodge

This weekend we stay at the most beautiful room I've ever seen,

every moment here felt so precious and relaxing

the Chatwal Lodge is tucked away in the Catskills and with only 14 boutique rooms,

and the most gorgeous bathtub I've ever seen.

We didn't have to plan a thing and the meals were fresh,

Each day we received a calendar of activities to choose from,

so we decided to level up our bartending skills at

a mixology class which turned out to be Vik's favorite,

and relaxed during an afternoon yoga session.

Every night the team prepared our room for the perfect wind down moment.

and sweet personalized touches to help you fully relax.

especially if you're looking for a luxurious

escape that feels both homey and intimate.

So share this with someone you need to escape

with and follow me for more unique getaways.
