SWEET EVENTS FOR ALL AGES
HELP BUILD CANDY LANE!
Calling all gumdrop architects! Candy Lane needs your help building the sweetest village ever inside of the City Arts Center in Round Rock! This is a free event for all ages.
Saturday, Dec. 6
Drop-in anytime: 10:30am–4:30pm
Cost: Free
Decorate your own gingerbread house front to add to a sugary community art installation. Hosted by sugar artists from Capital Confectioners/Capital City Cake Club, we provide everything—candy, icing, sprinkles, and you bring plenty of sugary inspiration. Bring the family and come help us make Candy Lane Village come to life!
TAKE-HOME GINGERBREAD WORKSHOPS
Prefer to build a full gingerbread house to take home? Join Capital Confectioners/Capital City Cake Club for their festive, hands-on workshops!
December 13 & 20
