BEGINNER CHRISTMAS TREES ~ Online Cookie Decorating Class
Learn to decorate the perfect Christmas tree with our BEGINNER CHRISTMAS TREES online cookie decorating class.
This set was made with at-home beginner cookiers in mind, so it uses ONE consistency, ONE shape and 2 colors. Yes, you heard that right! Now that's my kind of beginner class!
Fewer consistencies and colors = less time spent prepping.
One shape = less money spent on supplies.

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.

Customer Reviews
I already have the intermediate class for this shape, and decided to try the beginner version to test it for doing with a group at Christmas. (Full disclosure: I haven’t made the more advanced ones yet)
This class is great for a shorter commitment of time and materials. My icing was, again, a bit too thick of a consistency, which is my own ongoing error after making the icing way too thin on one batch. I appreciated this reminder that less fussing is still going to make a pretty cookie. Especially if I’m making cookies for a cookie tray or a party, each one can be relatively simple and people will still be happy.
I just made one cookie of each design to go through the video of the class and did not have to do much pausing or fast forwarding. Knowing I wasn’t going to do a full batch of cookies I just did one bag of each color, 5oz white and 6 of green, I think, and that did 18 cookies (the first eight and then ten more today) with some white still in the bag and needing to squeeze every bit of green out.
