The 5th day of class was the advanced workshop. I squeezed a lot of material into one day! We made royal icing roses with a lacy brush embroidered border and some ruffles, piped filigree and painted it gold, and then painted tiny blue roses by hand. I made these cookies ahead of time so that I could show the students what we were going to make in class. I thought it would be best if they could see the cookies in person, so I took lots of photos (just in case) and then very carefully packed them in my suitcase. Even after being thrown onto a baggage carousel and flown across the Atlantic, every cookie arrived completely intact.
Here are some photos from the class.
On the second day of the workshop after the flood icing was dry, we worked only with stiff consistency icing to make brush embroidered flowers, bead borders and baskets.
Here is a list of all of the techniques and recipes from the class. These are included in the video bundle, which is available in the tutorial shop:
- Orange Vanilla Spice Cookie and Royal Icing Recipe
- How To Make Royal Icing
- Flooding with Royal Icing
- Cookie Decorating Basics
- Bead Border
- Brush Embroidery
- How To Pipe Ruffles
- Roses and Leaves
- Basket Weave Technique.
Thank you Super9Films for assisting me during class and taking lots of photos!

Thank you, Alma!!! It was an incredible experience!!! I will come back soon! <3
Wow! Looks like so much fun! I wish I lived in Madrid 🙂 Do you speak Spanish, Amber, or was the class held in English? Also, Alma's shop is absolutely adorable!
It's a beautiful city!! I spoke English and Alma translated 🙂
You're so pretty Amber and I can see you've thoroughly enjoyed your experience. Good luck always.
Thank you! Yes, it was a great experience!
Soooo cool and sooooo jealouse!! Everything looks great. I hope some day you can come back here to Spain and I could go and meet you. Also hope you had a great time in Madrid.
From a very very fan of you 🙂
Kisses from Spain!!
I hope to return soon! Thank you!!
I'm very happy for you, you've taken a good impression and also hope you had a good fan in madrid, Alma is a charm, in this world all love her very much and I'm sure it was a great hostess. I missed it, do not know that gives me grief but when I tried to register and had no seats. was seen and unseen. But everything in life has a reason why, maybe it's time to visit USA and attend your courses. I leave it in the hands of our creator. But let me congratulate you once again for all your success, you're amazing. kisses
I hope you can make it to a class in the future, Wendy!! xo
