As a fellow Canadian -- so proud of you !! At 64, I've attempted many of your designs for my first Grandson's upcoming baby shower. My daughter asked, "when did you become a cookie decorating expert?" When I found Stephanie at Little Cookie Co. -- that's when. Thanks so much!! Love, love love your tutorials -- by far the best instructor on TH-cam. And you make it doable. All the best for Christmas & always.
That is the best comment someone can leave me, thank you so much!!!! Congratulations on being a grandma and how lucky your grandkids will be to have the most special cookies!! Merry Christmas to you and your family 🥰🥰
I know this video is a year old, but I'm seeing it for the first time. It's probably the most informational video for beginners I've ever seen. Thank you!!
I started a little Cookie business and it is doing well. I started off by watching your videos. I appreciate everything I learned from them. Thank you for your talent that's taking mine to another level!!😊💜
I’ve been watching for a year and I still struggle with getting them to look anything like this. I can do it, they just look very basic and amateur. :(
Thank you!! I'm so happy you find them happy! Have you seen my royal icing tutorial? I go over icing consistency there in more detail. You can watch it here, hope it helps: th-cam.com/video/HxGBClkllNE/w-d-xo.html
Don't worry about it, you'll get there. It's definitely a process and takes a lot of practice. But with every set you will learn more and get better I promise! I've seen many people start out and now I'm just mind blown have far they've come. My cookoes used to look terrible when I started, so don't give up, you got this!
@@Normlyabnrml Take a photo of each set that you make. I promise that your cookies aren't as bad as you think. We can be very critical of our own work sometimes. Comparing your progress with pictures can be very reassuring.
These are so cute. Perfect for people who don't have christmas shaped cutters or don't have the patience for it. Santa is my favourite it looks so fluffy and plump. I've followed your tutorials before and they were much loved by family. Thank you.
thank you for doing it in real time, I went to a dcorating class and the instructor said I was going to fast, its because I had been watching all the speeded up tutorials.... I had to really concentrate to slow down. These are simple but adorable. Will be making these this year. Though in Australia, I will be doing a Sandman, not a snowman !!
You're not the only one, so many people go so fast thinking that's really how you're supposed to do it because that's what all the videos show. And omg a sandman!!! That would make an adorable cookie 🥰🥰
Oh my I ❤ed this video. Every design was a favorite in its own way yet all were different and delightful. I equally ❤ed how you took such care to show the processes of everything and your reasoning behind the processes you used.
Thank you for those clear instructions. Glad I found your channel. It’s my first time trying Royal icing decorating . The cookies are made, tomorrow I decorate. Hope they turn
This year will be the second time making royal icing Christmas cookies. Thanks to your videos, (You are a terrific teacher.) they turned out not terrible. This video has me looking forward to this year's batch.
OMG!! You are amazing such a great artist! To take a round cookie and make it into a Santa, Elf, & a Gingerbread man it amazes me they are absolutely gorgeous I can only hope/ pray that I can be this amazing! I am such a perfectionist it’s sickening lol, I am one who wants to be good at something like right now now days/ or mths or even yrs later I want to be that good now I’m having a hard time training myself to know hardly anyone is great right away so I’ve been trying to train myself that it will take practice uugh having such a hard time with that I get so frustrated I want to give up I know I know practice makes perfect dad told Me this all my Life even as an adult lol but just know your cookies are absolutely gorgeous I’m still blown away at how a round cookie gets turned into these thank you so much for you awesome tutorial one I can truly follow and understand thank you keep up the great work you are amazing
Thank you so much, you are too kind!!! I am kind of similar to you where I want to be good at things right away and it's so hard cause you really just need to dive in and give it a go and for things that don't work out try to better them. But let me tell you, there's no better satisfaction of trying so hard and then nailing it finally when you've perfected everything!! It's such an accomplishment! So just be patient and I promise the first ones you make will be pretty good! We are our own worst critics, so just keep that in mind!!
Thank you!! Corn sryp is the key to glossy icing (or as glossy as it will be when its dry). You can see my royal icing recipe here - th-cam.com/video/HxGBClkllNE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you 🥰🥰 if you have tips on hand, like any round hole tips that's fine. If you have regular piping bags you could technically use those but the seam may pull your icing to be not so straight. Or you can use bottles as well, like icing bottles.
Awesome work! Also, may I know, whats an alternative for a piping bag? My bag broke :( Poor thing lasted only 2 years lol! 😂 Anyways, I hope you all have a great Christmas! Merry Christmas everybody! ❤ May your lord give you strength and happiness throughout the coming years. Love yr work, girl. Keep it up! ❤❤
Can you use a normal cake decorating bag? And how do you get the black? Making cookies tomorrow and thought i would look up this method. Seen it for years, and didn't know what it was called. Making the cookies as gifts for neighbors and i would love for one to make suger cookies that didn't look like 1st graders decorated them! Lol
Thank you for your fantastic videos so glad you talk us through every step. If you are using flood/out line all in one, do you still put the little squiggles in the smaller spaces?
Thank you!! I always use 2 consistencies, but if you're only using 1, you would normally have it thicker than a regular flood, so it wouldn't be so prone to cratering. So you wouldn't need the squiggle.
I believe it might be in this video, I know I've shown it a few times just not sure which videos it's in. If it's not here then try my cookie tips and tricks playlist! th-cam.com/video/Kpp8DWfQy0o/w-d-xo.html
The base is partially dry, so it has crusted over but if I push my finger on the icing it would push through. But you can pipe and it will stay on top of the cookie
Sometimes if I think the area is big enough I won't do it. Or if I'm piping on a layer of icing that is just crusted over it I may not as it's not always needed. Or if I'm using my outline to fill it then I won't squiggle either
I tried the first Christmas tree but when i went to do the dots, i presumed it was with your outline icing but I'm getting little tails as i dot them, any suggestions? That part of the video i fast, so wasn't sure how exactly how you were doing them, thanks!😅
Which cookie was it? I've posted so many videos I'm not sure anymore 🙈🤣 but if you are doing any wet on wet designs it's always best to use your flood for the dots. If it's dots on dry icing and you get peaks you can try using your flood with almost no pressure on the bag or you can use your outline but then touch the top with your scribe and sort of push down the peak or lay it a bit flat!
@@LittleCookieCo the first Christmas tree in this video with the little red dots as garland. I thought from your video its dry on dry, I did try pushing them down but they were stubborn lol. I'll try again with your suggestions, thanks again!
Ah ok! Sorry yes, I know what you mean now. And it was on dry icing, but it could be your icing is a bit stiff so when you pull up it's coming up. Mine also may look perfect but they do sometimes have a bit of a peak too. Try going in with the scribe or thinning down your icing just slightly, and when you put the dot on, make sure your bag is right above the cookie and almost squish the dot if icing against your cookie then let go of the pressure and lift up. Hopefully that will help break the tail and not have it stick up so much
@@LittleCookieCo I'll keep that in mind for my next try, thank you! When you suggest thinning down the icing, I'm presuming i have to empty the bag back into a bowl, thin it then put it back into a bag? I'm guessing there's no way to thin what you are already using in the bag?
Yeah you'd have to put it back into the bowl. I mean you could add a touch of water to the bag and smash it around til mixed 🤣 but it's probably not the best method and you may add too little or too much water. I'd only re mix some water if it was really bad (it bugged you a lot) or your scribe wasn't doing the job well. But I can guarantee most people wouldn't notice those tiny details. You could also just knock them off with the scribe too once dry, I've also done that a few times 🤣🤣 fun and effective haha

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 and thank you ❤️
Perfection! Thank you 😊

hermosas galletas, gracias
Gracias ❤️❤️
So lovely!!!!
Thank you 🥰
Thank you for taking the time to do this tuturial. Before yo began, how many bags of icing did you make?
I make 2 of each colour I need, 1 for outline and detail and the other is the flood
So cute❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
Wow! I love them. 😍
Thank you 🥰🥰
love the cookies. How big are the circles?
Thanks ❤️ they're about 3 inches in diameter
I like your tutorial.
Thank you 🥰
When you add the black, is the base color partially dried or fully dry
The base is partially dry, so it has crusted over but if I push my finger on the icing it would push through. But you can pipe and it will stay on top of the cookie
@@LittleCookieCo thank you😎 now I’m off to make some Christmas cookies
Yay!! (And Me too 🤣)
Why did you not put squiggles on the top red section before you flooded it?
Sometimes if I think the area is big enough I won't do it. Or if I'm piping on a layer of icing that is just crusted over it I may not as it's not always needed. Or if I'm using my outline to fill it then I won't squiggle either
Are the squiggles to prevent craters? How long before you finish filling?
Yes! They help prevent craters. I usually do the squiggly and then flood right after! I don't wait for it to dry!
You’re such a perfectionist and I’m here for it ❤
Aww thank you ❤️❤️

What time it takes to be dry
Do you have a tutorial on how to make the cookie itself?
I do!! The link to the recipe is in the description of this video

How do you keep from color bleeding?
You add white to the icing! I talk about it in my royal icing tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/HxGBClkllNE/w-d-xo.html

Slowest icing I've seen done 😕
Most of the videos you see are sped up quite a bit, this is really how long it takes in real time!
