With Thanksgiving all wrapped up, it’s time to focus on your upcoming holiday party (or parties). This year, dial it back a few decades with some sweet treats from Yuletides of yore. During PREP Kitchen Essentials’ “Retro Desserts Made Simple” class, you’ll learn how to make—from scratch—Hostess cupcakes, pineapple upside-down cakes, OREO cookies, Nutter Butter cookies and Fig Newtons. Why bother with tired sugar cookies when you can give guests a bite of nostalgia they’ll never forget?
