Struggling with royal icing?? You're not alone.
Perfecting royal icing is tricky.
I'd argue it's the number one reason why people quit cookie decorating.
I want you to succeed. To help, I created this class to teach you the tricks of the trade; so you can stop researching and start mastering royal icing!
This virtual class features a comprehensive royal icing recipe guide, which includes:
The royal icing recipe I use (which has been tested with multiple meringue powder brands!)
My favorite brand of meringue powder
How to mix the four main icing consistencies (that doesn't involve counting seconds)
How to store royal icing (for no waste!) and optimal freshness and utility.
In the class video tutorial, I cover:
How to mix the four main royal icing consistencies used for cookie decorating: outline, hybrid, flood, and floral.
Mastering each consistency without counting seconds.
How to confidently approach mixing consistencies based on look and feel.
Application of each icing type on a cookie.
Troubleshooting icing consistencies and what to do when icing is too thick or thin.
When you purchase a class from me, I want you to feel supported. I love getting questions from you, whether it's to help troubleshoot an issue or to celebrate your wins. I want to be the one that cheers you on! I'm always just an email away.

A pre-recorded virtual cookie class featuring beautifully detailed floral designs - using just one icing consistency and no piping tips.
If you’ve ever dreamed of decorating cookies that look like spring blossoms — but felt overwhelmed by stiff icings, metal tips, or too many tools — this class was made for you.
In The Cookie Garden, you’ll learn to create soft, elegant florals using:
✅ One icing consistency
✅ Tipless piping bags only
✅ Simple techniques with beautiful results
What you’ll receive inside the class:

One Icing Consistency: No stiff icing! I show you how to achieve beautifully detailed designs with only one icing consistency.
No Metal Piping Tips: We only use tip-less piping bags, which cuts down on cleanup + having to purchase metal piping tips.
No specific cookie cutters: Use any flower and leaf shapes! I link a few cookie cutter options and include a hand-cutting template.
Use any cookie recipe: Use your own recipe or purchase one of my delicious, no-spread cookie recipes for a discount! I used my Chocolate Truffle Cookie Recipe.
