SweetAmbs Cookie Decorating Class At Alma’s Cupcakes
Last week I had the honor of teaching cookie decorating classes at Alma’s Cupcakes in Madrid. There were 3 separate classes over the course of 5 days. The first class was a two day workshop. I taught two of those. During the class, we flooded cookies, practiced the wet on wet technique, piped filigree, made brush embroidered flowers, bead borders and basket weave. I’ll post links to the tutorials for all of these techniques at the end of the post.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. Alma has two locations in Madrid. This location is the store where she sells cake and cookie decorating supplies. The class took place in the school, which is across the street. Here are some photos from the class. Alma baked around 300 cookies for us to use! I started the class by showing the students how I make royal icing. I went around the room making sure everyone had the correct icing consistency for flooding. Alma’s shop is really beautiful. It’s a nice place to decorate cookies! All of the students did really well. 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. After the two day workshop, I flooded nearly 100 cookies for the students to use during the advanced class. The students all did amazing work. We had a graduation ceremony at the end of class and each student received a diploma. After the graduation ceremony, we had a raffle to give away the cookies that I decorated during class. I signed the back of the cookies with an edible ink marker 😀 Thank you for having me, Alma! I hope to come back soon! 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:
