Get your beach life Zen on and explore dimensional piping, texture, and a variety of transfers to make cookies that are as fun to make as they are beautiful to look at. We’ll use multiple techniques to go beyond simple flooding to create cookie canvases with texture and interest. You’ll learn about icing structure and consistency to produce dimensional features that we’ll enhance with color dusting techniques to create a lobster that is ready to crawl right off the cookie. You’ll also play with royal icing, fondant, and isomalt transfers to create detailed cookies that come together super quick. Throw in some micro-piping and brush embroidery for good measure, and you have a cookie set bursting with techniques that will glow up and speed up your cookie designs. To make sure you get the perfect picture of your creations, I’ll have a photo staging area and go over some of my favorite photo tricks.
