The cutter used in this class is a 3" circle (I like the one from Brighton Cutters). (The workbook also provides alternative cutter options, including options from Amazon.)
The original sets of cookie cutters are all linked in the description of each class listing. The class workbook includes alternatives options from sources like Amazon, for example.
A general guideline for skill level:
- Beginner: never worked with royal icing before (even if you're an experienced baker) or a handful of times
- Advanced Beginner: has worked with royal icing for +/- 6 months and sometimes gets the icing consistency right
- Intermediate: has worked with royal icing for 1 year+ and often gets the icing consistency right
My classes are designed for success *no matter* how much experience you have with royal icing. Whether you've never touched it before or you've been working with royal icing for years, you are SURE to impress all of your friends and family with your edible creations thanks to my detailed instructions and warm approach!
All of my cookie decorating classes include the same cookie and icing prep regardless of the skill level. While others differentiate skill level partly based on how much prep is provided, I provide the same prep regardless and differentiate skill level based on the techniques covered in the set and amount of decorations/tools required.

This was my second class with Grace and it was fantastic. I made these cookies for a 1st birthday and I loved the result. Grace is super patient and informative and also very relatable. Totally recommend her classes!
Thanks to Grace and this class I immediately knew what designs to make when a friend asked for some “2 Wild” birthday theme cookies! They were a bit! Per usual the PDF instructions and YouTube video class were so thorough making the decorating process a breeze
I've bought a few of Grace's classes to date, and while it's hard to choose a favorite, the Safari Animals set really brought me joy. Every animal in the set is so cute (especially the hippo!)! I donated a set to a children's organization and I'm sure they were a hit. I'm looking for my next opportunity to make them again!
If you're on the fence about trying one of Grace's classes, I strongly recommend you do so. Her workbooks and corresponding videos are so very helpful and easy to follow. And her cookie and icing recipes are perfection!
I have been wanting to learn royal icing for a while and my son’s birthday provided a great excuse/opportunity to give it a try. This class was a great place to start as a beginner and my cookies turned out way better than I could have imagined for it being my first time. I credit my success to the thoroughness of the workbook… it felt almost a little overwhelming at first, but when I started going through it step by step, it broke down the process in detail and provided all of the information I needed to feel confident about the technique. The links to the Youtube videos about icing consistency were especially helpful. The Youtube video of the decorating class itself was fun and easy to follow along with. Also, Grace responds to questions in the comments on the class video which is a great resource if you need it (but you probably won’t because she does a great job of covering everything in the workbook and video). Not only did the cookies look great but they were delicious! The cookies had the perfect consistency (soft to eat but sturdy enough for decorating) and a nice, subtle flavor that would maybe be a bit bland on its own but is perfect for showcasing the lemon flavor of the icing. I don’t normally like lemon flavored desserts (I tend to prefer my lemons sour, not sweet), so I was unsure if I would like the icing, but actually the icing was delicious and I loved it! The only downside is that it is a very time- and labor-intensive process (I spent somewhere around 3-4 hours per day over 3-4 days between general prep, baking, icing prep, and decorating), which means I probably won’t be able to make royal icing cookies as often as I might like to. However, overall, this class was a great experience and I’m looking forward to making more cookies with royal icing when I have a chance!
My daughter and son in law are expecting twins. They decided on a safari theme for the nursery so when I saw the online jungle animal class I decided to give it a try. The recipes and instructions were easy to follow. I made two test batches before the baby shower. Third time was the charm, the cookies were a huge hit! The cookies were soft but not too crumbly, the lemon icing is to die for! It was fun and I felt so accomplished! Highly recommend!!
