Class Details

Once upon a time, I had a vision of ‘Buffalo’s Largest Christmas Cookie Exchange’.

Then covid happened, and I couldn’t wrap my head around 100 + people getting together to exchange cookies they had baked in their homes.

But then- you came to our decorating classes. And you wanted more.

You wanted to bake. You wanted to create. You wanted to do just about anything that allowed you to spend time together in our bakery. You wanted to share stories, desserts, laughter, and connection.

But what you really wanted was….my cuccidati recipe.
Cuccidati are essentially a very fancy Italian fig cookie- like a homemade fig Newton, but so much better! My grandmother’s recipe is truly a labor of love.
What I wasn’t ready for was offering 35 cuccidati classes in a single year!!!!
Each class was 3 hours long. We prepped everything together, you rolled & shaped your own cookies, and everyone went home with 2 and a half pounds of cookie. And of course, that warm and fuzzy feeling.
But I STILL wanted MORE cookies! I wanted to learn new recipes, exchange family recipes, and try a bit of every single thing.
And then came ah-ha moment #2!
What if you came into the bakery, baked your own recipe, and exchanged cookies with everyone at the end?
Because baking holiday cookies along in your kitchen can be a little sad. And a lot of work!
Instead, let’s gather. Let’s bake together. Let’s talk about the recipes, share the stories behind them, learn by watching one another, and leave with a beautiful assortment of homemade cookies.
You’ll eat, laugh, learn, gather, and go home with cookies for your holiday celebrations- plus a booklet containing every recipe your group prepared!
Here’s How It Works:
You bring your own group of friends or family members and choose one of our available dates and times.
Each participant selects one cookie recipe to make during the party. We recommend choosing different recipes so your group leaves with the greatest possible variety.
During your three-hour private event, each guest will prepare approximately 3 dozen cookies. Exact yields may vary depending on the recipes selected.
At the end of the party, everyone will exchange cookies and leave with:
  • An assorted box of holiday cookies
  • Approximately three dozen cookies in total
  • A printed booklet containing all of the group’s recipes
  • The satisfaction of completing your holiday baking without having to clean your own kitchen!
Party Details:
Price: $75 per person
Minimum: 8 paid participants
Maximum: 14 paid participants
Minimum booking total: $600
Event length: Approximately 3 hours
Age requirement:  All participants must be 16 or older
Every person attending the event must be registed as a paid participant. Because this is ahands-on baking experience, we cannot accommodate additional nonparticipating guests in the bakery during the party.
Reserving Your Date: 
A $200 nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve your selected date and time. The deposit will be applied towards your final balance.
Your reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been paid and you have received confirmation from Buffalo Cake Pops.
The final guest count and remaining balance are due one week before your event. Your party will still be charged for the eight-person minimum if your final attendance falls below eight participants.
Choosing and Submitting Your Recipes: 
All recipes must be submitted to BCP at least 2 weeks before your party.
We need your recipes in advance so we can:
  • Confirm that each cookie can be completed withint the three-hour event
  • Make sure we have the necessary ingredients available
  • Review any unusual techniques or equipment needs
  • Organize and print your group’s recipe booklet!

All recipes are subject to approval by BCP.

Recipes must be able to be mixed, baking, decorated if necessary, and completed within the scheduled party time. Recipes requiring overnight preparation, extended chilling, complicated assembly, or specialized equiptment may not be approved.

We may ask you to choose a different recipe if your original selection cannot reasonably be completed during the event.

What we provide:

Buffalo Cake Pops will provide:

  • The ingredients needed for each approved recipe
  • Baking sheets, mixers, bowls, utensils, and bakery equipment
  • Workspace for each participant
  • Boxes for everyone to bring their cookies home
  • A printed recipe booklet for your group
  • All cleanup after the event

You simple gather, bake, exchange, and enjoy!

Food & Drinks:

You are welcome to bring food and beverages to enjoy during your party. Feel free to plan a festive menu, bring snacks, or other food and make the experience your own!

Allergy Notice:

Our bakery regularly hands ingredients containing wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts.
Because multiple recipes will be prepared in a shared commercial kitchen, Buffalo Cake Pops cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment or prevent cross-contact. Please tell us about any allergies or diety concerns before submitting your recipes.
Don’t have a private group:
No worries!
We’ll also be offering public Christmas Cookie Exchange events for individuals and smaller groups. Public dates will be announced soon.
Holiday schedules fill quickly, so we are releasing our private party dates early to give everyone plenty of time to gether their group, choose recipes, and make plans before the hecticness of the holiday season takes over.
Choose your date, gather your favorite people, and let’s bake some cookies together!
