Email info@sweetheatheranne.com to request a payment plan. There has been a lot of interest in this workshop so it may sell out before we are able set-up your payment plan.
POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL DATE
Tuesday, March 10 + Wednesday, March 11 (12 spots)
If the first workshop sells out quickly, we'll offer the students who signed up the opportunity to switch to the second workshop before officially posting the new dates. We'll send out an email before we post again so that you can be ready to sign-up. Please email us at info@sweetheatheranne.com if you miss out on the first workshop so that we can gauge interest in a second workshop. Beata is travelling all the way from Poland, so I'm not sure if we will be able to host her again in the future.
PLACES TO STAY
Wyndham Garden and Weber's are hotels that are both really close to here if you are looking for something easily drivable. (Or walkable if you don't mind chilly weather) You would probably want to get a ride back to your hotel once you have your finished cakes, though.
If you'd rather stay downtown, the Graduate is right in the middle of town and walking distance to lots of restaurants/shops.
If you'd prefer an AirBnB, I know the host of this one and this one is very close to the Cake Studio.
Ann Arbor is very safe in general so you can't go wrong with places to stay. If you're looking to make a trip of it, check out my friend Sue's guide to Ann Arbor.
The best airport to fly into is Detroit (DTW).
