We all start somewhere.
When Lisa first started decorating cookies, she thought the color was achieved by brushing colored egg wash on raw dough prior to baking. … She was way off (laughing/crying emoji here). We’re happy to report that she’s come a long way, and that she wants to save you the headache and frustration.

Here’s what you’ll learn in class:
The Basics of Dough
Why does dough spread? Which parameters *really* matter when it comes down to baking the perfect cut-out cookie? Lisa will talk you through the science of baking cookies that don’t spread. Our step-by-step videos take the guesswork out of what creates the perfectly baked cookie base.
How to work with Royal Icing
Royal icing can be super tricky and there are so many factors when it comes to achieving various piping consistencies and creating icing that doesn’t bleed, doesn’t become porous or flows all over the place. We’ll show you all the tips, tricks and things to watch out for to get the perfect icing.
Bonus: Storage & Packaging
The shelf life of your cookies depends on your preferred bake, decorating time and how you store them. Learn some tricks of the trade as it relates to storage, and also gain some insights on packaging for gifting or selling. Lisa shares packaging ideas and suppliers with you in the course guide.
