The word on Penny Royal Bakery
Here's the word going around
I haven't taken one of Penny's classes yet, so this is the regulars' read, not mine.

By most accounts Penny runs cookie-decorating classes that are pure fun, taught by someone who genuinely wants you to leave able to do it. Reviewers describe every material laid out and ready, steps walked so clearly they followed along with ease and went home with six cookies they were weirdly proud of, and a Mother's Day class with parents and kids grinning the whole way through.
And Penny, people say, is as sweet as the cookies, repeated because it's true. This reads less as a grab-a-dozen counter and more as an experience, a great gift, a fun afternoon, a reason to use your hands, the kind of thing reviewers sign up for again.
A class where I leave with six cookies I actually decorated? I'm signing up for the next one.
The Order
Reviewers point to a spot in one of the cookie-decorating classes, with a kid or a parent in tow.
⚠ Gotcha
This is class-based, not a walk-up bakery case, by several accounts. Register ahead for a session and confirm what's included.
That's the word on this one.
I'm working through every spot in Leander, and posting my own take as I go. Get the next one before everyone else, one email a week.
