Does the idea of making royal icing make you quiver?  Do you start to sweat thinking about pastry bags, frosting tips and food coloring?  Have you ever seen a bag of meringue powder and wondered what the heck it’s for?  Do you really, really want to learn how to make beautiful hand-decorated cookies?

If you answered YES to any of these questions then the

Cookie Rookie Decorating Class is for you! 

Join The Cookie Countess herself, at her private country castle – ok, um… or just come to my house in northeast CT… and let me demystify the basics of decorated sugar cookies. During this 3 hour class we will go over:

• making royal icing and using different consistencies for various techniques
• preparing pastry bags and bottles, and the different uses for both
• basics of outlining cookies… practice piping straight lines, circles, etc.
• how to flood cookies using both bottles and pastry bags
• wet-on-wet decorating techniques
• simple ways to make beautiful cookies

Each student will be able to decorate their own cookies during class to take home and show-off to their friends. You will have access to a Cookie Rookie, members only webpage that has recipes, tips and useful links to online tutorials and blogs to continue your cookie decorating education. Students will also have the option to purchase a cookie decorating starter kit for $15 that includes: 5 decorating tips, 5 couplers, 10 pastry bags, and two .75oz Americolor food coloring bottles.
