I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of Grace's classes! This is the 4th beginner class I've taken, after doing the Christmas/Winter classes. I took some shortcuts this time, after having taken the other 3 classes (e.g., not letting the colors of the icing develop for very long), but I'll go back to following Grace's directions in the future! My Christmas/Winter cookies were such a hit with friends, that several have asked me to show them how I decorate the cookies, so I am taking cookies I've baked and frozen and some icing I'll make ahead of time to a gathering this weekend and we'll spend a couple of hours decorating cookies together! I'm excited! This past weekend I made a "test batch" and I just love how they came out (picture attached)! I love how easy Grace's directions are to follow, both in the workbook and in the recorded class, and I love that she provides links to so many other videos where we can get more details about specifics in the class. If you are wondering whether the classes are worth it, I say go for it! You will be very pleased at how well the cookies come out!
