Yay! Your Getting Started guide is making its way to your inbox right now. But real quick...
Was it more like a "million in a million" chance that you are ready to get started with cookie decorating? If so, keep scrolling...
Do these thoughts sound similar to you?
- You aren't the best at art even though you enjoy it.
- You didn't go to pastry school or have a grandma teach you everything baking.
- You are nervous about the start-up cost in case it doesn't work out.
- You wonder how you'll fit a new hobby into your busy life.
- You are afraid to be one of those #failed it people.
These fears commonly hold people back from starting something new.
**But I'm here to tell you it's not your fault.**
You see, any time something new seems interesting to us, our cortisol and adrenaline levels spike. What does this mean? You basically go into the fight, flight, or freeze mode of operation. All of your animal instincts come out to play. So, instead of embracing the new challenge, you might freeze on making a decision, attempt to fight every "what if," or ultimately back out.
And then you're left wondering what would have happened if you just gave it a try. Remember when you were a kid and you just *tried new things* like, all the time? It's time to bring back that part of childhood curiosity and fun.
Let me introduce you to the creative hobby of cookie decorating.
Reasons to love cookie decorating:
- Everyone loves cookies
- You get to make delicious, edible art
- There's endless amounts of possibilities & techniques to grow
- You get the satisfaction of seeing something tangible be produced from your own hands
- Everyone loves cookies. Yes, I said this twice. You'll most likely be everyone's new favorite party guest.
You may be asking, How do I start? I've never decorated or baked a cookie in my life.
Perfect! I hadn't either until almost three years ago. In fact, I had no idea if I even had a rolling pin. Baking was not in my family line and I surely didn't feel artistic.
That's why I built this class for YOU. In Insta-Worthy Birthday Party Cookies, you will get access to
90 minutes of instructional video that supplements your free Getting Started guide:
- a recipe & video on how to make the most delicious & soft sugar cookies
- a recipe & video on how to make smooth, vanilla buttercream frosting that kids & adults love
- a step-by-step video for decorating sugar cookies so that even the first timer can follow along
- BONUS cookie cutter templates and instruction on how to make your own cookie cutters
- BONUS 12 Tips and Tricks for Looking Like a Pro, even as a beginner
The best news: You can get access to this online class, accessible 24/7, for only $21.
Let's be real, you've probably spent more than that going though the Target Dollar Spot on a random Tuesday. (No shame, I'm guilty, too.)
Questions You Might Have
Why is the class called Insta-Worthy Birthday Party Cookies?
In Insta-Worthy Birthday Party Cookies, you will be making your first set of cookies that will look so pretty, they are Insta-Worthy. These cookies will be a birthday party theme (peep the photo above.) Partly because having a theme just *makes sense* but also because, you're bound to celebrate a birthday (or five) in the next year. Why not have a set of cookies you'll know how to make for the occasion?
P.S. Just so you know, you can use the skills you learn & the DIY cookie cutter technique to make any cookie theme in the future.
How will I find the time to do this when I already feel too busy?
Great question! This class is broken down into three days of instruction, about 30 minutes a day. Instead of scrolling the 'gram for 30 minutes, you'll have either made cookies, made buttercream frosting, or decorated cookies. Need more than 3 days? Take longer. This class has lifetime access. Want to rush through in one day? No problem. You get all the class material instantly.
Won't I need some tools & supplies?
Yep. In your Getting Started guide that's probably in your inbox right now, you'll get a list of tools needed for the hobby of cookie decorating. For this class, you will need access to:
- a stand mixer (don't have one? I'm totally okay with you sharing the class with a friend who does)
- ingredients for cookie dough & buttercream frosting (nothing crazy)
- typical baking supplies such as a rolling pin, mixing bowl, measuring cups/spoons, and a baking sheet
- gel food dye & disposable piping bags (easily found on Amazon & at Walmart)
How do I access the class? Do I need a special app?
After completing your purchase, you will be taken to Teachable, an online course platform. You will create an account so that you can always log in to the online class, assuming you have internet access. You do not need an app, as the class is hosted through your internet browser.
Why buttercream and not royal icing?
My favorite question! In your Getting Started guide, you'll find a list of pros and cons for each method. But to summarize, buttercream frosting tastes better, is faster, is only one consistency, and still creates stunningly beautiful cookies, in my opinion. Taking this class gives you the opportunity to try this up & coming cookie decorating method.
If you end up wishing you tried royal icing first, simply transfer the skills you learned from buttercream into the royal icing world.
What if I fail or end up hating it?
I'm so confident that adding in a creative, delicious hobby into your life will be 100% worth the $21 investment, that I'll refund you 100% within 30 days of purchase. Simply email me [email protected] or ask for a refund through the Teachable platform.
The gel food dye purchased can be used for pancakes, cupcakes, & art activities with kids. The disposable piping bags are perfect for deviled eggs & even store bought canned frosting or whipped cream.
