Why I made it
Over the years, I’ve created tons of free resources on my blog answering just about every royal icing question you can imagine. But I kept hearing from decorators who wanted one organized, ad-free, print-friendly place to find all of that foundational information without searching through individual blog posts.
So I created Royal Icing 101: my most important royal icing guidance brought together into one beautifully organized resource that you can keep at your fingertips while you decorate.
More about this guide:
Royal Icing 101 is for anyone who wants my foundational cookie decorating information gathered into one easy-to-reference place. It’s especially helpful if:
- You already love my free blog resources and want an ad-free, printer-friendly version
- If you already own my classes and want a deeper reference guide
- If you’re brand new and like to understand the why behind the techniques you’re learning.
Absolutely! The eBook was intentionally designed to be printer-friendly, so you can keep a physical copy nearby while decorating. I recommend keeping the digital version too, since it includes clickable links to helpful videos, products and additional resources.
No! Royal Icing 101 is an 89-page digital PDF eBook, not a video course. It’s designed to be a reference guide you can read, print and return to whenever you need help or a refresher.
You definitely don’t need it to successfully complete my classes—but it’s the perfect companion if you want to go deeper. Class workbooks keep the foundational information shorter and specific to that class, while Royal Icing 101 gives you the fuller explanations, troubleshooting tips and FAQs all in one place.
Yes! If you’re brand new and love understanding the why behind what you’re doing, this is a great place to build your foundational knowledge before—or alongside—your first decorating project. If you learn best by jumping in and following along step-by-step, I’d pair it with one of my beginner classes so you can put everything you’re learning into practice.
Yes! The foundational information in Royal Icing 101 can also be found for free throughout my blog. What you're getting here is the convenience of having my most important royal icing resources beautifully organized into one ad-free, easy-to-reference guide instead of searching through individual posts.
