Cake Club in BK 🎂

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.

He definitely had us all walking away quite mystified and wondering how he did it.

we could see him having his own show in Vegas one day.

he has a show about once a month of the Algonquins,

so definitely try to catch him while he has his residency.

Tacos 🌮

If you're looking to cool down and escape the city for a day,

Rockaway Beach is a must for any summer bucket list.

My friends and I usually do one or two trips to

Rockaway over the summer because it's so close to the city

Everyone is either just lounging out, in the ocean

they’re called nutcrackers and they come in all different types of flavors.

so head here early in the day to make sure you get your perfect spot.

And if you're like me who gets easily sunburned and needs a break from the heat,

there are so many spots you can pop to nearby.

they make homemade pina coladas and have a live band.

It's such a fun vibe and everyone is still partying post the beach.

so we stopped by this taco shop to get some food

Be sure to add these spots to your list for a perfect summer getaway.
