CAKE CLASS - SURVEY

Hi!  I'm looking for some feedback from customers that WANT to see a cake class or two offered soon.  I am just looking to pick your brain on how to do this best.  I understand that not everyone is ready to take a class yet due to the governor recent restrictions.  I set up this survey for my customers who are INTERESTED in a class or two soon.  So if you are not ready - don't take this survey - you can always sign up for a class later in the year when you feel more comfortable and things are a bit more settled.

I rent the little Brush Valley Chapel's Fellowship Hall.  They are good to me and are so close to my bakery that it is convenient for me to hold classes there.  I contacted them today to see if they may be interested in letting me have classes again there.  I asked about holding a Valentine's Day class - just to set a date on their end.  They are having a board meeting this upcoming weekend and will discuss it.  This church has an elderly congregation, so I understand their fears.  Up until now, they haven't been using the Fellowship Hall.  I explained that I am trying to decide if "life should go on" and get back to normal a bit or if I need to wait longer to see how things go with the vaccine and the general health of our community.  The final say with these classes will come down to the church's decision.  They may not want to let me rent this early in the year, so this is honestly just a survey to get some feelers out to see what you all think. 

Thanks for giving me feedback.  It all helps!

    Cake Class Interest - 2021

     You are not signing up for anything by filling out this information.  I am just looking for feedback (privately... so no one on social media sees your personal responses).  Only I will get this.  Feel free to use the comment box at the bottom of each section to explain your answer if you feel the need to expand and I have another comment box at to bottom of the survey to tell me anything else I may not have asked or that you wish to give me feedback on.  Every little bit of information will help me decide if there is a community interest in doing these again - and how soon I can start setting up classes again.   I bet I got 8-10 inquiries over Christmas break asking if I would be offering any decorating classes soon.  I want to see who is ready and what you are ready for!  :-) Thank you!  ~Cheri
    1.) So far I have offered classes on holiday cakes, Ladies Night Out cakes, Mother's Day/Father's Day and "Mommy & Me" cake classes.  I'm trying to see what my customers - YOU - are interested in.  Right now - no cookie classes.  I know I have been asked several times, but for now I just can't make it work.  I would like to keep to cakes only.  If things go well... possibly sugar cookies toward the end of the year.  Maybe Christmas cookie instructions.  But... right now I am looking just for interest through the next 6-months (Jan through June) for CAKE CLASSES!
    2.) Days of the week that work best for your schedule.  I know I have certain days that are easier for me to schedule things and I also know that not everyone's family schedule is the same.  Help me figure out days/times that work best for my customers.  As a cake decorator - the closer I get to a weekend ... the busier I am with my private/customer orders.  BUT...if I plan a cake class far enough ahead on my schedule, I can choose not to "overbook" private orders to make room for a cake class... making me more flexible with days of the week.  
    3.) If you have never taken a class with me at the church where I hold them - they have long banquet tables set in rows.  I am able to set up stations with distance between each participant.  I can stager you at tables and no one will be immediately beside you.  So you will be spaced out.  With that in mind - answer my question below. **Also keep in mind that I pay for the fellowship hall to rent it - so if you choose a smaller class size - I may have to increase the class "cost" to help me cover the rental.  So far I have not had more than 12 people in a class and this was BEFORE the COVID craziness!  So no worries about a super large attendance.  
    4.) Mask vs No-Mask - how comfortable will you be with MASKS ON during the class?  I keep my class schedule to roughly 2 hours long, so this is the length of time you will be around other participants.
    5.) Have you taken a class from me before?
