Whether you're planning a summer playdate, looking for an indoor activity during a heat wave or rain storm, or just want to try something new, Open Studio Time is one of the most fun and accessible activities for kids in Portland.
What Is Open Studio Time?
Open Studio Time is a self-paced decorating session designed for kids and families who want to explore their artistic side without committing to a full party package. You’ll choose from our menu of DIY cake and cupcake kits, each loaded with pre-baked treats, frosting, fondant, sprinkles, and decorating tools. Then grab a table, settle in, and decorate at your own pace.
Perfect for Sharing
Each cake/cupcake kit is designed to be generously portioned and easily shared between two or more decorators. Cupcake kits come in sets of 6 or 12 and cakes are 3-layers, 6" and feed 10-12. It's a great choice for siblings, friends, or even grownups who want to join in the fun.
Indoor Fun That’s Weather-Proof and Low-Stress
Rain or shine, Open Studio Time makes a fantastic indoor activity for kids in Portland. Our air-conditioned studio is bright, colorful, and welcoming, ideal for escaping summer heat or rainy-day boredom.
Happy Hour: Wednesday–Friday from 3:00–5:00 PM
Parents, this one's for you. During Happy Hour, enjoy $2 off beer, wine, and other adult beverages. But don’t worry: our full drink menu is always available at all Open Studio Time sessions, including adult beverages and zero-proof options.
