Looking for the Agenda?

You didn't fall in love with cookies to feel stressed about them.

But somewhere between the orders, the kids, the laundry, the group chats, and the never-ending to-do list... you started missing the part that used to light you up.

Sound familiar?

  • “I just want to decorate without rushing.”
  • “I miss creating something just because it brings me joy.”
  • “I've been wanting to try airbrushing for months, I just never have the time to properly learn it.”
  • “I'm a decent decorator, but I've hit a wall. I don't know how to get to the next level.”
  • “I need a minute to just breathe. And maybe eat a cookie someone else made.”

You’re not alone — many cookiers feel the same way.

You’re not alone — many cookiers feel the same way.

You don’t just need a break. You need space to reconnect with what lights you up, so you can go home feeling recharged, more creative, and more like yourself in every part of life.

That’s exactly what the Bakeaway Retreat is for.

This is a pause on purpose.

 A weekend where you can set down the to-do list and come home to yourself through creativity, rest, and connection.

Welcome to Bakeaway: A Pause On Purpose.

Bakeaway is a small, intimate cookie retreat hosted by Lauren “Lolly” Anderson, a nationally recognized cookie decorator, educator, and the woman behind Lolly's Home Kitchen.

For two full days in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, you'll step out of your everyday life and into a beautifully curated experience designed to stretch your skills, recharge your spirit, and remind you why you started decorating in the first place.

This isn't a cookie class. It's not a conference. It's not another tutorial.
It’s the real thing, decorating side by side, learning in real time, and building skills in two days that would take months to figure out on your own.

Picture this:

You arrive at a stunning, modern venue just 18 minutes from the airport. Your supplies are already laid out. The catering smells amazing. And a group of women who share your love of cookies are already laughing in the kitchen.

You spend the next few days learning advanced techniques you've been wanting to master for what seems like forever. You get real, in-person feedback. You actually finish what you start. You eat incredible food. You sleep knowing that, just for once, everything is taken care of.

You go home with cookies you're proud of, skills that finally clicked, and a full heart.

That's Bakeaway.
And then... we create.

Picture having...

  • ​Hands on Decorating Galore: Hands-on cookie decorating sessions with techniques you’ve been dying to try or master
  • ​Rest & Relaxation: Cozy downtime, delightful dinners, and real conversation
  • Gifts for You: Swag bags filled with hand-picked goodies just for you
  • ​​1:1 Coaching: Dedicated time to tackle tough issues, get a private demo, gain insights, and anything else that will help you break through to your next level
This isn’t about doing more.  
It’s about remembering how good it feels to feel like yourself again--and to launch into the refreshed version of you!

Come as you are. No pressure. No performance. 

Just a sweet little escape where you get to play, rest, and reconnect—with your creativity, your purpose, and the heart behind why you started decorating cookies in the first place.

Welcome to:

Oct 21-23, 2026
 Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Oct 21-23, 2026
 Sioux Falls, South Dakota
 Hosted at The Carlton

It's more than a getaway. It’s a reset.  You’ll go home rested, inspired, and a little bit changed—
in the best possible way.

It's more than a getaway. It’s a reset.
 You’ll go home rested, inspired, and a little bit changed, with the kind of memories and momentum that last.

What do you get when you mix a boutique-level cookie studio with the kind of rejuvenating escape your soul’s been craving?
The Bakeaway Retreat — a deliciously luxurious, small-group experience for cookiers who are ready for more.

More connection. More fun. More creativity.

 More skill-building. More me-time. More cookies, obviously.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to step away from the laundry piles, the dinner duty, the work deadlines, and the constant scroll — this is it.

You’re invited to step into a private, elevated cookie escape that’s designed to delight your senses, stretch your skills, and finally give you the space to breathe again.

Where it's all happening:

The Carlton | Sioux Falls, SD

Intimate Venue

The moment you step into our modern, light-filled community room at The Carlton, you’ll feel it. Peaceful. Intentional. Stunning.

It’s giving “retreat,” not “classroom.” (This is not a folding-table-in-a-rec-center situation.)

Elevated Studio Experience

• A beautiful private cookie studio space that’s all ours.
• Access to a hot tub and pool for post-cookieing relaxation
• Gorgeous surroundings for slowing down, soaking in, and resetting your creativity
• Meals catered with exceptional taste (because food is half the fun)

The Whole Experience

This is where it gets real sweet.

At the Bakeaway Retreat, you'll be getting your hands dirty — in the best way.

You’ll learn advanced, polished cookie techniques in a fully hands-on setting with everything provided for you (even the snacks). I’ll be right by your side to teach, encourage, and guide you through each step.

Whether you’ve been decorating for a while or you’re looking to level up from intermediate to advanced, this is your chance to get expert instruction and the kind of feedback that actually sticks.

Here's What's On The Cookie Menu...

What's Included

(And the Bonuses You Didn't See Coming)

The Core Experience:

  • Two full days of hands-on cookie decorating with Lolly & select baking experts leading every session (and an option to add a 3rd VIP day at checkout!)
  • All supplies, tools, and materials provided — zero packing stress, just show up
  • All meals: Breakfast spreads, light gourmet lunches, catered dinners, snacks, and an extra fabulous, fancy dinner included
  • Beautiful studio space at The Carlton in Sioux Falls — intimate, modern, and nothing like a rec center
  • Private Facebook group for attendees to connect before and after the retreat
  • ​Swag bag filled with Lolly's favorite cookie tools, sweet surprises, and gifts from our sponsors

Advanced Technique Stations… Where the Magic Happens:

  • Airbrushing for detail and depth (yes, even if you've never touched a gun before)
  • Stenciling and layering
  • ​Pressure piping and lettering
  • ​Icing consistency masterclass, this means no more guessing, no more meltdowns
  • A full, exclusive custom cookie set designed just for this retreat

Your Bakeaway Bonuses:

  • ​Personalized, hands-on support from Lolly throughout every session — she'll be right there troubleshooting, demonstrating, and cheering you on
  • Cookie Pro Photo Station — walk away with professional-quality images of the cookies you've made
  • VIP-level touches woven throughout the entire weekend — because you deserve to feel taken care of
This isn’t just a cookie workshop. This is an elevated retreat experience built around you — your skills, your questions, and your growth as a decorator.

Whether you’re ready to refine what you already know or finally master the techniques that have been tripping you up — you’ll be supported every step of the way with instructor-led, highly personalized guidance.

In Just ONE Retreat, Cookiers Go From This... To This.

These aren't magic tricks. This is what happens when you get dedicated time, expert instruction, and finally have space to actually practice.

The Agenda

Oct 21-23, 2026

DAY 1: 🗓 Oct 21 | Welcome to Bakeaway
Arrive, check in (doors open at 5:30 PM), and settle into the vibe. We'll kick off the weekend with hors d'oeuvres, warm introductions, and all the cozy excitement of meeting your people.

DAY 2: 🗓 Oct 22 | Full Day in the Cookie Studio + Our Fancy Dinner
This is where we get our hands dirty, in a delicious way! Full day of decorating sessions, advanced technique stations, connection, and (obviously) snacks. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided. We wrap up the retreat with a beautiful celebration dinner. (Dress it up, you've earned it.)

DAY 3: 🗓 Oct 23 | Full Day in the Cookie Studio
More hands-on decorating, more technique stations, more laughter, and you go home with gorgeous, dry cookies, new friends, and memories to last a lifetime! (AM cookie pickup available on Oct 24th if needed, then the tearful hugs and heartfelt goodbyes begin.)

Want a bonus day? See VIP Day below ↓

Ready to Go Deeper? Add a VIP Day.

The retreat fills your cup. The VIP Day helps you build what comes next.

This intimate add-on experience on October 24th is for the cookier who wants more than inspiration, she wants direction, momentum, and expert support tailored to where she is now and where she wants to go.

In a very small group, you’ll spend the day with Lolly getting personalized coaching on your business, your content, your goals, and the opportunities you may not even be seeing yet. Whether you’re just beginning or ready to grow what you’ve already started, this day is designed to accelerate your progress and help you move toward your goals with more clarity and the confidence it takes to truly suceed.

Instead of spending months, or even years, figuring it out through trial and error, you’ll get insight, strategy, and hands-on guidance that can help you move forward faster and more purposeful than ever.


On VIP Day, you'll get:

  • Private coaching with Lauren, centered around your business, your challenges, and your next level
  • A content filming session to help you create stronger, more effective cookie content that attracts ideal customers
  • A professional brand photo session with polished images of you and your cookies to use across your business
This is for the cookier who is ready to take herself seriously, build with intention, and create a business that feels as meaningful as it is successful.
Important: VIP Day attendees fly home on October 25th instead of October 24th. Make sure to plan travel accordingly.
Keep an eye out on your screen right after you register. You'll get a chance to learn more about VIP Day and how to purchase. 

This is a rare chance to step away from the chaos and into a space that’s designed with your creativity, joy, and cookie goals at the center. 
You’ll return refreshed, inspired, and equipped with new skills — and a full heart.

And best of all? You don’t have to bring a single thing. 

Everything is prepped and waiting for you, so you can just show up and soak it all in.

A deliciously luxurious, small-group experience for cookiers who are ready for more.

The Bakeaway Retreat is a premium, limited-seating event designed for experienced cookiers who are ready to treat themselves — and take their craft to new heights.

Hi, I'm Lolly

and I made this retreat for you.

I'm a graphic designer turned cookie decorator, and I've spent the last several years turning really impressive-looking designs into easy-to-learn techniques that anyone can master with the right guidance.
But here's the part I don't talk about enough:

I didn't start decorating cookies because I wanted a business. I started because I needed an outlet. My son Micah was born with multiple congenital heart defects, and my husband Preston and I spent years in and out of the hospital. I needed something that was just mine. Something beautiful and creative and completely within my control.

Cookies gave me that. And eventually, they gave me everything else—a career I love, a community of women I adore, and a front-row seat to watching other women find their own version of that same joy.

That's why I created the Bakeaway Retreat. Not because I needed another event on the calendar. But because I know what it feels like to finally have a space that's just for you. And I want to give that to you.

I've helped over 60,000 students fall in love with cookie decorating. Some of them are hobbyists. Some of them are now running thriving businesses. All of them started exactly where you are right now.

Come to Bakeaway. Let me teach you. Let me spoil you. Let me show you what's possible when you finally give yourself permission to just show up and create.

I'll see you in Sioux Falls. 🍪
With love, Lolly

Have Questions? We've Got Answers.

When is the retreat?

October 21–23, 2026, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The welcome party begins the evening of October 21st . Plan to arrive by 5:30 PM. The main retreat wraps up on October 23rd.
VIP Day attendees: add an extra night and plan for October 24th. Full details on the VIP page.

Where exactly is it?

The Carlton at Dawley Farms in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a beautifully designed, modern venue just 18 minutes from the Sioux Falls airport. It's cozy, light-filled, and absolutely nothing like a folding-table-in-a-rec-center situation.

Is there a VIP option?

Yes! The VIP Day is an exclusive add-on available after your main ticket purchase. It's a full bonus day on October 24th that includes private coaching with Lauren, a content filming session, and professional baker photos. See the VIP page for full details.

Do you teach the business side of cookies?

The main retreat is focused on skill-building, creative growth, and the kind of rest and connection that fills your cup back up. Business coaching is available through the VIP Day add-on, which includes dedicated 1:1 time with Lauren around your goals.

Do I need to bring supplies?

Nope — everything is provided for every session. If you have a favorite tool or apron you love, feel free to bring it, but you won't need a thing.

What about meals?

All meals are included — light breakfasts, catered lunches, snacks, dinners, and one fabulous fancy dinner on our last night. If you have specific dietary needs, reach out in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate you. There's also a Target and Walmart nearby just in case.

Is lodging included?

Lodging and flights are not included in your ticket — you'll book your own hotel and travel to Sioux Falls. Once you're there, complimentary shuttle service runs between our designated retreat hotel and the venue each day. We'll share hotel block details (with a group rate) in the private attendee Facebook group and in your retreat email updates.

What if I can't make it after I register?

Full refund available up to 75 days before the event. After that, tickets are non-refundable, but you can transfer to a friend up to 10 days before the retreat. Email us at service@lollyshomekitchen.com.

Can I make payments?

Yes! The 3-payment plan option is available at checkout. All payments must be completed no later than 5 days before the event. Incomplete or missed payments will result in the cancellation of your registration.

Is the retreat accessible for attendees with special needs?

Your wellness and safety are our top priority — we want this to be worth every penny and every mile you traveled to get here. If you have mobility concerns or specific accommodation needs, please email us at service@lollyshomekitchen.com before registering. While the retreat does include some hands-on elements that require physical participation, we'll do everything we reasonably can to make the experience as comfortable and joyful as possible for you. We'd love to have you.

Can I hug you?

Absolutely. I'm a hugger. Come ready.

There are Only 30 Spots. Some Are Already Gone.

This is a small, intentional event. Not a conference. Not a mass experience. We're keeping it intimate so every single person walks away with real progress, real connection, and a heart full of confidence and memories.

If you've been saying 'someday'...

Someday is October 21st.

And once it's full, it's full.

A deliciously luxurious, small-group experience for cookiers who are ready for more.

From me to you.

I created this retreat because I know how powerful it is to step out of your routine and into a space that was made just for you. You work hard. You give a lot. And you deserve a weekend where the only thing you have to worry about is which cookie technique you want to learn next.

Let me take care of the rest. I'll see you in Sioux Falls.

With love,
Lauren “Lolly” Anderson 🍪
