Halloween is always a spooky good time of year to decorate, but what if your decor were edible?! That's right - this cookie jar is fully edible and filled with even more cookies! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to create your very own 3D holiday-themed cookie jar, filled with an assortment of mini cookies. Not only will you gain hands-on experience, but we will also cover the basic steps to plan, design, and execute 3d cookies.

I will demonstrate the process of assembly, and then together we will shape, sculpt, and decorate our 360 degree cookie jar. Each jar has a removable lid, and holds mini cookies inside, just like a real cookie jar! All tools necessary will be provided, along with a booklet covering our techniques we use in class. I will have a photoshoot area so you can get beautiful photos for social media before traveling! You'll leave class with a grab bag containing some of the tools we use in class, your booklet, and boxes to carry your cookies in for safe travels home.

What to Expect:

• I will teach you the same process I use when I start planning 3d designs
• We will talk about the structure of 3d cookies, and how to use a soft sugar cookie for support
• I will walk you through step-by-step shaping and carving your cookie jar
• We will learn how to apply royal icing to curved surfaces and still get a flood-like finish
• We will talk about royal icing and the proper consistency to sculpt three dimensional detail
• We will sculpt our details and learn how to smooth out and blend icing for a clean, finished look

This class is ideal for bakers of all skill levels who are interested in venturing into 3d cookies! No previous experience decorating is required. Some steps will require repetitive motion and grip strength, but we can offer some assistance as needed.

I can't wait to create a cookie cookie jar with you!
