Beginner Cookie Decorating
If you’ve never worked with royal icing or have dabbled just a little, this class will help you get the ball rolling. We will work step by step on each cookie to learn the various decorating techniques used with royal icing, specifically piping/outlining, flooding, and wet-on-wet techniques. There are five cookie designs planned, and we will keep things rolling to get them all completed by the end of class. All supplies are provided. Once class registration has closed, students will be sent Cindy’s informational handout via email, with basics of baking cookies, tips and tricks of the trade, and a list of places online to check out for additional tutorials, instructional blogs, recipes, and vendors/suppliers for those who want to take it to the next level. Ages 10+.
Students who have to withdraw must do so at least one week prior to the start of the course for a full refund.
