"Cookie Jar is a small café in a side street of Rüttenscheider Straße in Essen Rüttenscheid. From the location in the center of Rüttenscheids quite well. As a hint: finding a parking place there is sometimes a matter of luck : According to their own statement, the café was opened by two sisters at the beginning of 2017 who wanted to make their hobby a profession, because they like cupcakes and want to share it with everyone. We were there for a cupcake course. These courses may take place regularly on Saturday mornings. In addition, there is probably the possibility to book courses at different events, for example for bachelor parties, childbirth days etc. (optional by the owner to get customers for children's birthdays: so all the legs are diligently wide. According to the owner of the café, these courses are designed for 8 10 people. However, 20 people were there on this course day. Even though 3 people have merciful and wanted to come back at another date, it was far too full. The owner, however, already knew about this problem on the eve and unfortunately did not do anything to make the most of the situation (e.g. prepare more cupcakes, provide equipment accordingly or simply cancel people or at least not withdraw the cancellations. All participants were divided into 4 groups. During the course each group produced two freezings (fresh cheese and butter cream and a dough for muffins. Finally, the muffins prepared the day before were decorated. The muffins are made with dinkel flour, which, in my opinion, makes them harder and less fluffy, but this is a matter of taste. Butter cream is also not made from butter, but from margarine, because the owner does not like the butter taste. To decorate with the cream there were freezer bags with hole there (on request to decorate 4 tulle, of which were broken. For further ornaments, however, there was a large selection of sugar spices and cookies. The dough produced by the students was baked however to sell it later as their own products. The dough kneaders wore gloves, but... For hygienic and above all qualitative reasons at least very questionable. Especially a pity for students, because there were too little muffins and then not the variety that the groups had chosen. Summary of the cupcake course: much too many people, too little space, not enough equipment, only 1 3 muffins per person. The owner was not very well prepared, which she had with individual, puffed and otherwise justified. She also carried her bad mood to the outside. The floor in the store was extremely dirty and, according to the owner's statement, not completely finished or rebuilt as they were only in the store since January (i.e.: for 6 months. The course was with 25€ per person via a voucher portal (normal price is twice as high, much, much too expensive. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the cafe quietly. PS: As for the overbooking of the course, the owner shoved all guilt of herself and called the voucher portal as a debtor. Can be true, of course, but she has not done any great attempts to get everything really well. This appointment was also the second appointment we had booked with her. The first appointment was cancelled 3 days ago on the ground that we are on holiday. PPS: the courses may run better on other days or regular business..."
