My procrastination when it comes to blogging is baaaaaaad. I’m trying to get better though! I’ve blogged every day so far this month. Yay me!
In my attempt to play catch up, I was reminded of a fun class I took. Make It Sweet is an awesome baking supply shop in North Austin. They offer a ton of classes too!! In May, I had the pleasure of attending a cookie decorating class with some other great bloggers.
We learn some great tips of thinning out royal icing to make the flood icing. I always wondered how the icing stayed on the cookies! :) We also learned some fun ways to make swirly designs & whatnot on the cookies. Toothpicks come in handy!!
Our instructor showing us her skills!
I love that Make It Sweet has cameras and monitors so that you can see exactly what the instructor is doing.
My finished masterpieces!
I’m hoping to sign up for one of the cupcake decorating classes next!
What a fun thing to do. I always admire the fancy cookies but have no skill for it.
Neither did I! I was soooooo nervous that I was going to make a complete fool out of myself!
Neat! I’ve never gotten into cookie decorating but it looks fun. So cool there are things like this to do and that you have bloggers you can meet with to do them!
So cool. I absolutely HATE decorating cookies b/c they always come out looking like a total disaster. Maybe I need a class.
I learned a lot! I was totally clueless before!
I love that store! They have the cutest stuff for baking and decorating. Great blog post; I like your pics of the demonstration in action.
Some of my favorite people and one of my favorite places in the city! How lucky we are to have such a wonderful bake shop.
Your cookies are quite clever and fashionable. You are a natural!
Hi Julie! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love Make It Sweet! So many cool things in that place, I could spend a fortune! I have never taken any of their classes though, but it is on the to-do list.
These are beautiful! I love to illustrate, so whenever I have sugar cookies infront of me I think I can work magic…but they NEVER turn out like this. Perhaps someday the stars will align. Until then I shall leave it to the professionals
Beautiful!
