Cookie Decorator in a Day

Making perfectly decorated cookies feels intimidating, and if you’re anything like me, it’s frustrating figuring out where to start. I wanted to learn how to decorate beautiful cookies, but I had no experience and no clue where to start. (This may surprise you, but cookie decoration skills are a not a prerequisite for most careers here at Teachable.) You may be wondering:

• What supplies do I need?
• What kind of cookie dough should I be using?
• Do I need a #2 or a #200 icing tip?
• And what’s the difference between icing and frosting anyway?
• And most of all....why doesn't my cookie look like the photo?! 😢

When I first started out, I knew I wanted a creative outlet and a fun way to spend the afternoon with my kids. I was determined to learn how to decorate awesome cookies that would be fun, delicious, and a great way for me to get creative. I also wanted to impress my kids and coworkers, so we had no time for Pinterest fails.

Here's what we'll cover.

By the end of this course, students will be confident cookie decorators. You’ll be able to make homemade royal icing using just three ingredients. You’ll also learn the proper technique to use royal icing to frost beautiful, professional cookies, including instructions for 3 beginner designs and 3 intermediate designs. Lastly, you won’t need to worry about what supplies or ingredients to buy. We’ll share the exact supplies and recipes we use throughout the course so you can follow along on our decorating adventures.
