As a beginner I chose to decorate one design (peach) at a time. While my confidence level is low, the feedback is positive, so that being said I believe this class helps produce something you would be willing to share. I made 30 cookies for a baby shower. I have taken 3 classes previously. My biggest challenge is icing amounts and coloring which probably comes with practice. EVERYTHING is covered in all of The Graceful Baker's class videos. It is easy to understand the direction given on the video and having a handout by my side is helpful. I love Grace's personality and feel comfortable with her style of teaching. Can't wait to try the other styles in this collection.
While I pick up a lot of tips from her youtube shorts, and even the longer videos, it's nothing like have her walk me through a class, in real time. Her instruction downloads are very helpful. She gives you a timeline to get things done (cookies, then icing, then decorate) so that I was ready to decorate as the class went along. I also REALLY liked that there are two views: I can watch her decorate from the top birds' eye view, but she has a corner screen, where you see her decorating from the front view.
Grace is also very relaxed, admitting that even pros have problems, and how to fix them. She even purposefully did a few thing that then needed fixing, just to show up.
Oh, and in the class manual, she shows all the material you'll need, and even where to buy it. Some have links that will give you a discount. This class had a lot of colors, but she did try to limit them. She does tell you how to make them, just be aware of which bags are which, and how to properly make them. It was worth every bit of what I paid.
I had so much fun taking this class and they turned out super cute! I highly recommend taking this as a first intermediate class. Grace makes it super easy and I love that I can stop the video, rewind, whatever I need to do. Great class!
These cookies are adorable! My family hails from a fruit orchard, so I knew I had to make these. They have so much dimension and people couldn't believe that I made them myself!
This was my first advanced beginner class and definitely a challenge, but I learned SO much along the way. The trickiest part is the cookie shapes, I’d recommend getting the cookie cutters, but overall a great weekend project and as always Grace’s instruction booklet and videos make it as simple as possible.
