Step into a sweet winter wonderland in this joyful holiday cookie workshop. Back by popular demand is Tess’ Holiday Cookie Bake & Decorate class, where participants learn the foundations of decorating cookies with Royal Icing—now paired with a bakery-style favorite called Black-and-White Cookies—half-way between a cake and a cookie, and covered with glossy chocolate and vanilla ganache-style icing on top. Participants will bake their own sugar cookies ahead of time so they are ready to decorate at the start of class. A PDF with two of the instructor’s personal sugar cookie recipes—one soft and chewy, one crisp—along with a full list of ingredients and supplies for Royal Icing will be provided roughly 5 days before class to allow time for shopping and baking. Choose to bake one or the other or both using cookie festive cutters of choice. The packet will also include supplies needed to create the bakery-style Black & White cookies that we will be baking together during class. Together we will bake the gourmet Black & White cookies, create Royal Icing with the proper consistency, and learn the foundations of decorating with it on our pre-made sugar cookies. No fancy equipment needed. This class will take place on Zoom. Participants will receive instructions on how to access the class prior to it starting.
