FAQs
This course is designed for those with basic experience who want to refine intermediate and advanced cookie decorating techniques, such as airbrushing, transfers, and metallic effects. It’s not intended for absolute beginners.
You’ll need royal icing, food coloring, piping tips, piping bags, an airbrush, stencils, sugar transfers, edible gold leaf, spatulas, cutters, and a dehydrator. Templates and packaging materials are also recommended.
You’ll learn intermediate and advanced techniques like floral rosettes, basketweave textures, metallic effects, airbrushing, transfers, icing consistency adjustments, template preparation, and professional cookie packaging.
It’s recommended to have basic baking knowledge and experience handling royal icing, as well as prior cookie decorating practice to get the most out of the intermediate and advanced techniques taught.
The basketweave texture is created by using special piping tips to pipe royal icing in interlaced lines over the cookie, mimicking woven basket patterns for a detailed, three-dimensional finish.
Advanced sugar transfers involve piping royal icing designs onto acetate or wax paper, letting them dry, then carefully transferring them onto the cookie to achieve intricate, delicate patterns.
You place a stencil over the cookie and use an airbrush with edible color to spray evenly, creating sharp patterns, shading, and advanced visual effects on the cookie’s surface.
