Welcome!
I am about to launch my online cookie decorating course. This course teaches you how to make the highest quality cookies decorated with royal icing. On this occasion, the theme is unicorns, rainbows, and flowers. You’re not only going to learn how to make these cute themed designs, you’ll also learn the techniques on decorated cookies, from scratch. We will cover the basic decorating techniques: royal icing transfer, and flowers and leaves piping.
About this course
It is a self-paced course that contains a series of explanatory videos with the step by step on recipes, techniques, and the decoration of each cookie. I will guide you through the entire process to make cookies from start to finish, without losing details. The course also has a guidebook that you can print with the recipes and procedures thoroughly explained. You’ll also get printable templates and guides to help you practice your technique and to create the final product. The course will cost $25 USD, and will be released in August this year. For more details about the course contents, see the FAQ below.
