It is a design-and-fabrication session rather than a frosting free-for-all, good for teens interested in making and engineering. One hour; free; supplies are limited, so arrive on time. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [Walk In Wednesdays: Holiday Ornaments — Mesa Main Library](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/walk-in-wednesdays-holiday-ornaments-mesa-main-library--listing-3fde6857fdbfb7cb89262635) — Wed, Dec 9 · 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM · Mesa Main Library · Free · checked Oct 24.
