Classic, elegant, and dainty florals paired with a French inspired Pastry shop. This class is a perfect add on if you’re hoping to learn or master royal icing flowers. In this class, we’ll focus on florals and spend the drying time detailing and watercoloring this 9” pastry shop cookie.

We’ll pipe multiple blooms of 5 different floral varieties: Large Garden Roses, Peonies, Lisianthus, Anemones, and Hydrangeas.

While the flowers are drying, we’ll add some watercolor details to the cookie and transfer details. Then we’ll pipe on puffy leaves before we place the flowers onto the cookie.

Here’s an overview of what we’ll cover:
  • Creating Floral Icing Consistency
  • Creating a variegated color icing
  • Creating a piping bag system for florals
  • Piping instructions and practice of multiple of each of the variety of flowers
  • Adding watercolor details to the cookie and transfers
  • Piping puffy leaves
  • Placing and attaching 3-D florals
You’ll go home with this huge 9” cookie along with multiple extra practice florals. I’ll also be providing a piping guide for each flower and class overview so you can take the skills you learn and apply them to your business at home. The guide will include all the details you need along with videos so you can recreate your flowers for your own sets at home. You’ll take home your piping tips and floral tools from class. I’ll also have some fun swag items to take home with you too! I can’t wait to create beautiful blooms with you!

Skill Level: Advanced

Please make sure you are comfortable with piping and flooding. Previous floral knowledge is not required, but helpful.

Please Note: We will be working with very thick floral icing for the majority of the class. If you struggle with hand strength, this may not be the best class for you.
