What attendees say:
An extraordinary experience. Natasja is full of warmth and thoughtfulness, shared her story, her home, her city and her craft. We ate a delicious variety of local specialties, had a load of fun and came home with the skills and an array of beautiful realistic sugar flowers. My friends could not believe they weren’t real when I showed them!I would do it over in a heartbeat. In fact, I’m looking forward to her offering a part 2 so I may return!
