Beginner to Pro: Essential Cookie Decorating Techniques

Cookie Decorating

“Now that we are at the end of the course, I hope you have enjoyed the journey. First and foremost, I want to thank you for having come this far and also for spending your time with me. It's time to share your creations and show your project's progress. Comment on how you've done it, talk about the challenges and difficulties you've faced and how you've overcome them. In short, share your experience. I want your project to be different from mine; repeat what I do to learn, but when creating your project for publication, do something different. This enriches our creative community. These are the steps I suggest you document and present when you publish your project: 1 - Design and Plan Your Cookie Design: Draw and sketch unique cookie designs. Create a mood board to gather visual inspirations and plan the themes and styles for your cookies.

2 - Gather all your ingredients and tools so you don't miss anything when making your cookies. 3 - Prepare the Cookies: Choose cookie dough using the recipes and techniques you want, including any flavor variations like vegan or gluten-free options. Use the hand-cutting methods to shape your cookies using the templates you have created. 4 - Decorate your Cookies. Prepare royal icing, ensuring consistency for decorating techniques like piping, flooding, and detailing. Apply these techniques to decorate your cookies, using color schemes and designs planned in your initial sketches. 5 - Assemble and Present Your Cookies: Assemble your cookies creatively once decorated. This step involves strategically placing cookies to form a cohesive and visually appealing set that reflects the theme of your project. Gather your images and share your project by clicking the "Create Your Project" button. Your post will become part of your portfolio on Domestika. Your portfolio is your showcase to the world to display your talent. Remember, it's essential to tell the story behind the project, not just show photos. Here are some links to help you organize it: Support link 1 Support link 2 I invite you to participate in the forum and interact by commenting on the community's work. After all, we will help each other, so take advantage of this opportunity! See you in the forum!”
