2-Hr Coffee and Biscuit Painting – Edible Paint
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by White Canvas Studio · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Coffee turns into art you can eat, and in this Upper Thomson studio you’ll paint with edible paint under full guidance, then eat the cookies right after. You’ll also do a second, separate project painting with coffee on paper that you take home. One thing to weigh: the first creation is designed to be consumed, so it’s not ideal if you prefer not to eat what you make.
In about two hours, you move from cookie painting to coffee-on-paper art in a studio setup that supplies everything. You just come with an idea (or an image) of what you’d like to paint, and you leave with your edible artwork plus a framed keepsake.

Coffee and Biscuit Painting in Upper Thomson: a smart 2-hour creative break

If you’re craving something fun that’s more personal than a museum stop, this White Canvas Studio session hits the sweet spot. It’s a creative workshop, but it also gives you a tangible result fast: one thing you eat, and one thing you can hang up.
What I like most is the double payoff. You’re not spending two hours making one small craft and calling it done. Instead, you get two different mediums—edible cookie painting and coffee-on-paper artwork—both guided in a relaxed studio setting in Upper Thomson.
One practical note: because it’s a guided jamming format, you won’t be in a highly technical class. The goal is to help you make something you’re happy with, not to master advanced painting techniques.

Your 2-part session in 2 hours: cookies first, coffee on paper next

This experience is built as two activities in one package, both fully guided. That structure matters, because you don’t have to choose between “cute edible art” and “real art you can frame.” You get both.
Here’s how the flow works:
- Activity 1: Paint with food colours on food (edible paint)
You’ll paint on coffee biscuits using edible paint. Then you eat your creations, which is part of the fun.
- Activity 2: Paint with coffee on paper
You’ll paint on watercolour paper with coffee, and the studio provides a frame so you can take home a finished piece.
The pacing is also a big plus. With a total duration of 2 hours, it’s long enough to enjoy the process but short enough to fit into a day of Singapore sightseeing.
Painting with food colours on cookies: edible art that you actually taste

This first part is where the experience feels different from a standard “paint class.” You’re not just applying color—you’re working with something meant to be eaten, and the materials are geared toward that.
You’ll use:
- Food paint (edible paint)
- Coffee biscuits (your canvas)
- Food painting brushes and the rest of the setup
The studio gives you freedom to choose your design. You pick what you’d like to paint, and you’ll have guidance while you do it. If you’re starting from scratch, the instruction is built to help you get a good first attempt without overthinking it.
And then comes the best part: you eat your paintings. That turns the whole workshop into a sensory activity—smell, color, and flavor all play a role. Just keep in mind your own preferences: if you don’t like eating sweet things, or if you want a purely “keep it on a wall” souvenir, this edible component may feel like a mismatch.
Coffee painting on watercolour paper: your framed keepsake
The second project shifts from food canvas to paper. This is the one you’ll frame and take home, which is why it works so well as a souvenir.
You’ll paint with coffee on watercolour paper, and the studio includes:
- coffee and watercolour paper
- a frame
- the food painting brushes and materials you need for this portion
What’s clever here is that coffee is a familiar flavor but used like a pigment. Even if you’re not an experienced artist, the medium supports a casual style. You’ll still get guidance, but the vibe is “paint free-and-easy,” meaning you’re not expected to produce a perfect gallery piece.
Since you take home a framed work, this part has practical value. It’s not just a memory; it’s something you can display later. If you like bringing home art that doesn’t require special framing skills, the included frame is a real time-saver.
What to bring (and what you don’t): ideas matter more than supplies

This is one of the easiest workshops to prepare for, because you don’t need to pack art tools or worry about materials. The studio provides what you need for both activities, including paint, biscuits, paper, brushes, and the framing for the coffee-on-paper piece.
What you do need:
- an idea or an image of what you’d like to paint
That small detail changes how smooth your session feels. If you show up with a reference, you waste less time figuring out a design and more time enjoying the painting. If you don’t have an image, you might still be fine, but having one is the difference between “fun and fast” and “what should I do again?”
Where to meet
Meet at 2nd floor, next to Yi Jia Bakery House Cafe. Arriving a bit early helps, because you’ll want to get settled before the guided portion starts.
Full guidance in a friendly studio: what the teaching feels like
The workshop is designed for both beginners and people who’ve painted before. That matters because some classes cater only to one type of learner. Here, the approach is friendly and supportive, with full guidance throughout both activities.
The teaching style also comes through in how people describe the session. One reviewer specifically called Sarah an amazing teacher, which lines up with the overall promise of guided instruction and an easy, relaxed pace. In practice, that usually means you’re not left staring at a blank canvas.
If you’re the type who worries about doing something wrong, this is a good match. The format encourages you to pick what you want to paint and then get help as you go. And because you’re working with edible materials in the first half, it keeps the pressure low—this isn’t about perfection.
Price and value: is $39 fair for two guided art projects?
At $39 per person for a 2-hour experience, the value comes from the fact you get two distinct projects with guided support and take-home results.
Here’s where the cost makes sense:
- Two activities in one session (edible cookie painting + coffee on paper)
- Materials included for both parts, so you’re not paying extra for supplies
- Food you can eat as part of the first project
- A frame included for the paper artwork, which adds real tangible value
When workshops only offer one craft, it can feel like a short experience. This one avoids that by combining two projects. If you’re looking for a creative souvenir in Singapore that’s not just a store-bought trinket, the take-home framed piece is a strong payoff.
The other value angle is time. Two hours is a manageable block. You can do it even if your schedule is tight, and it doesn’t swallow your whole afternoon.
Who should book this coffee-and-biscuit painting class?
This experience is a great fit for anyone who wants a hands-on Singapore activity that’s lighter than a technical art class. It’s especially good if you like:
- making souvenirs you can use later (the framed coffee-on-paper piece)
- interactive, playful activities (the edible cookie painting is fun in a very real way)
- a guided session where you’re not stuck figuring things out alone
It also works well as a casual date idea or a small group activity, because the pace is relaxed and the output is clear. Even if you’re traveling with someone who isn’t into art, the food element can keep things engaging.
If you strongly dislike eating sweets, you might want to skip the edible-paint portion’s full focus. But if you’re open to the idea of eating what you paint, it’s part of what makes this class memorable.
Should you book this coffee and biscuit painting experience?
I’d book it if you want a creative activity that gives you both immediate fun and take-home value. The combination of edible paint plus a framed coffee-on-paper artwork is a practical best-of-both-worlds setup, and the workshop’s promise of full guidance makes it friendly for beginners.
I’d think twice if you’d rather keep your souvenirs non-edible, because the cookie paintings are meant to be eaten. Also, if you expect a highly technical art course, this is more relaxed than that.
If your goal is a unique Singapore experience you can actually bring home—made by your own hands—this one earns a spot on the shortlist.
