Beginner Royal Icing Cookie Tutorial | Winter Wonderland

I know I keep saying I love every set more than the last, but this one is just so beautiful. The simplicity of the colours and designs make it such perfect designs for Christmas! Navy Blue is sometimes a tricky colour to achieve but adding a touch of black darkens and deepens the colour nicely.
Also, in this set, I show you not every set goes perfect! A few things happened to my cookies while decorating. And as a bonus I'll show you how I like to fix my craters!
For a few tricks on how to achieve different shades easily with colours, see my colour tutorial here:
• EASY TRICKS TO MAKE TH...
For the colours I used in this set:
Dark Blue: Americolor Navy Blue with a touch of Chefmaster Super Black Diamond and Americolor Royal Blue
Light Blue: Americolor Navy Blue and Chefmaster Ivory

I love how you show your mistakes. It helps us know it's normal.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes!! It happens more often than people think even when we try our best!! Thank you ❤️

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

Your videos are so inspiring. You are so encouraging, and I love how you remind us not to be so hard on ourselves. It's about making the recipient of the cookies happy! Pretty set, and I love the color scheme❤

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes!! You've nailed it on the head 🥰🥰 thank you so much ❤️

[@busybody57]

​@@LittleCookieCoI love watching your videos. It's so relaxing. You are very talented. ❤

“You can always eat the bad evidence.” 😂 So true! Great tutorial. Love your colors!

[@LittleCookieCo]

I may just make a few mistakes on purpose 🤣🤣

[@dianacontreras8117]

Do you let the filler in the small spaces dry before filling the small spaces?

[@LittleCookieCo]

No, I like to do the squiggle line and then flood (fill in with icing) right away!!

[@mahdireza5695]

Please can you do an easy tutorial on various snowflake designs on gingerbread cookies?

[@g-bgcg]

These cookies are so adorable. I love how you explain all the details as sometimes we can’t tell what a decorator is doing differently to be successful. These little details make all the difference. Thank you for the video! ☃️❄️

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much ❤️ I'm so happy you find the tips helpful! I try and explain everything I do or I'm thinking but sometimes I dotn have enough time in the video 😄

[@amyrivers4093]

It makes the world of difference. We basically getting a free lesson from one of the best in the business. I get so excited of future cookie making.

[@LittleCookieCo]

You are far too kind, thank you 🙏❤️

[@amyrivers4093]

@LittleCookieCo you are very talented and excellent teacher. When I was well I was a teacher and foster Mum and I've seen many people who don't have half the skills needed to be an effective teacher and you are really do have the skills.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! Its funny I always wanted to be a teacher but I ended up in a different route (in my non cookie job) so I gues this sort of fills that need for me 😄

[@tracydevinechipley224]

I am brand new to cookies, and I have a question about craters. I noticed that you are building up smaller areas with the thicker icing before the flooding. In my mind, it seems like the larger areas would have sunken-in areas. Could you please explain craters to me.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Love this Video❤❤❤❤❤

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@jeannereid3431]

Love this! Icing how do you keep it flowing so well Mine gets clogged. What is the recipe for the different types of icing you you. The lining then then flow

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! I have a video on how I make my icing and how I make the consistencies, hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqmqc3aioNGfhKc

[@dianedegener3749]

Thank you for real time. I always try to pipe quick like the videos.lol. Glad to see it’s really done slowly.

[@LittleCookieCo]

It's hard to know that it's really a slow process when all the videos are sped up, so I'm glad I can do them in real time! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@MaryRodriguez-nw4nx]

They are so beautiful, and the color combination is amazing!🙌

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@LoriWember]

How do you determine how much of each color icing you will need?

[@leannekenyoung]

Such a unique color scheme! Absolutely love it! Which really surprises me because I’m a typical Christmas red and green and white decorator. ❤🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! And I'm usually a traditional Christmas color girl too, but I just love how this came out 🥰

[@mayraflores3290]

Hola, son preciosas sus decoraciones!!tengo una pregunta, que hace que tus galletas brillen mucho, es especial tu royal icin? O agregas brillo al final? Porque cuando yo hago, un dia después mis galletas lucen opacas.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Lo mejor es tener un receta bien y usar un fan (perdon no se como se dice) para secar los galletas un poco mas rapidos Mi receta es aqui kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqmqc3aioNGfhKc

[@francostacy7675]

Gorgeous!….im intimidated

[@JudyMartin-e1w]

What is typical drying time for the flood sections? I’m never tried doing these , but I want to learn. Great videos !

[@LittleCookieCo]

If you just leave them on the counter it can take anywhere from 30-45 minutes for a section to dry enough to do another section on it or near it. If you put a fan nearby to circulate air they can dry in 20-30 minutes! Thank you ❤️

[@bjamo8738]

I keep looking for your recipe for your flood icing - I only ever find your recipe for your royal icing - are they the same icing with different amount of water? please help.

[@LittleCookieCo]

It's the exact same icing just the flood has some more water. But I explain it in this video if you watch it til the end how I get consistencies out of 1 icing kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqmqc3aioNGfhKc

[@KCheeseman-s7y]

Can I use butter vanilla emulsion instead of just butter emulsion?? If so how much do I use?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes! You can! If you use that and leave out the vanilla, I'd put double amount of the butter emulsion. Or you can do the same amount and still add vanilla

[@adrianavaladez]

[@annoyingbutmorallyconsistent]

Thank you so much for your videos. You are such a great teacher of your craft. I truly appreciate all the tips and tricks as well as how to fix mistakes. I'm brand new to cookie decorating and your videos have been invaluable. Again, thank you so much!

[@aimee2373]

How did you get that shade of blue? Using sky blue with black?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Adding black definitely works well! Here's a trick if you don't have a certain colours, hope it helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqi4l6CanLpmnsU

[@sandyikerd1765]

Do you have any videos showing how you get the design on the cookie with the edible marker?

[@LittleCookieCo]

So I have a projector but there is also another way I made a video on a while ago! Hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIbXf6VrZtuSj9U

I can’t believe how much time goes into ONE cookie! You are so talented!!

[@LittleCookieCo]

[@cherylp.3347]

Hubby walked by and said the same! But it’s fun!!

[@OoThereSheGo]

You seem to go at such a slow pace meanwhile I’m Over here trying to hurry up and go quickly. Time is money !

[@LittleCookieCo]

True! But these are also tutorials and most beginners will be around this speed and it's all about teaching them so they see the process. I could go faster maybe but it would probably be more sloppy 🤣

[@OoThereSheGo]

@@LittleCookieCo oh you know what ? Duhhh tutorials. It’s supposed to be slow lol got ya ! I love them Tho

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! I appreciate that hehe. I figure worst case better give too much info that not cause people can always fast forward 🤣

[@Lucy-n9n4i]

Thank you for explaining in detail how and when to do each step and why you do what you do. It helps to put things into perspective. This set is really awesome that teal blue n white combination is everything! I love it ❤ Thank you for all that you continue to do and how you teach and guide is what sets you apart from the rest. In this world of instant gratification I'm grateful for those who take their time. Happiest of Holidays to you and yours and I pray that you're able to gift all of these cookies you make and that they don't go to waste.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️ I'm really glad you love the videos and thank you for your support by watching them! I usually let my husband and kids eat the cookies but sometimes by the time I'm done filming they've sat around for a long time or I've used old icing or cookie dough, so not all of them get eaten. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas

[@mguerraone]

These are amazing and I love them! When you cut out your dough, did you use a specific cutter then cut your shape, or did you just cut the design when the dough was dry? I would love to try these designs, but I’m not that creative to cut my own designs. Lol! You totally rocked this! ❤

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! I cut out a template out of paper and then cut around the paper on my dough with a knife or sometimes I use my projector as well to shine an image and cut around when I do shapes I dont have a cutter for!! And I do it before baking!

[@debrastiltner8268]

How do you make icing for outline and filler

[@LittleCookieCo]

You can find my recipe here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqmqc3aioNGfhKc

[@cherylp.3347]

Wow, so beautiful . You are so talented! Blue is my favourite colour so thanks! I feel I have “ permission” now to use it in my cookie decorating. 😂 And your tip on making a template and cutting around it is much appreciated. I just realised I don’t have a snowman, now I know what to do.

Thank you so much!! And blue is a perfect Christmas color, reminds of a wintery snowy Chrismtas 😊🥰

[@cherriward2246]

Thank you for sharing so much about how to make cookies. I love watching your work. I was wondering if you could share a way to store the cookies. For example if you make a large batch ahead of time do you refrigerate them? I worry about colors bleeding once the thaw out.

[@LittleCookieCo]

The best way to store cookies if you make them in advance is freezing them! They taste just as great as fresh cookies! The only thing is you want to make sure they're in an airtight container and when you go to defrost them, you can't open the container until they're fully defrosted. This way you'll avoid condensation and the icing getting a bit wet and maybe sticky!!

[@cherriward2246]

Thank you so much! They are wrapped individually in cellophane so maybe I will put them in airtight container also! Thanks for the tip!

[@amyrivers4093]

I love them, the colours are a perfect match to my favourite shades of blue. Your talent always blows me away. I don't know if you realise how amazing you are. I am chronically ill and when I turned 32 my lifelong specialists team gave me two years at the most to live. I could no longer be a teacher and foster Mum which devastated me as I thought it was my life purpose. I was determined to see my newborn nephew grow up for as long as possible. My sister and her family are in England while I'm in our home country New Zealand and my goal was to see him one last time. I'm 45 now and in many ways a walking miracle. I am bedridden a lot and I use youtube to distract me from my constant stabbing pain. I am blessed to have you on my list of subscribled channels. So you are helping me cope, learn and your voice is calm and peaceful. I believe in thanking someone who impacts your life because we are all very good at complaining when something is wrong but forget to compliment. So we never really know how far you go impacting others lives positively. I'm doing some research on what cookie I'm doing this Christmas. I'm an amateur and I haven't actually made any since I did snowflake cookies last Christmas. Xx

[@LittleCookieCo]

You are such an inspiration to me! You have reminded me not to take anything for granted again. Your story brought tears to my eyes and it's always the good people that suffer the most in this world, as God knows they are strong enough to accept it and keep going (even if you may not feel like it sometimes). Thank you so much for your message and I wish you the absolute best and many many more years of really good days and to see your nephew grow! I wish you the absolute best this Christmas and I hope you have a chance to make some cookies 🥰❤️ thank you ❤️

[@busybody57]

@amyrivers4093 🙏

[@amyrivers4093]

@LittleCookieCo what a beautiful message, so kind and thoughtful. Thank you for not just reading my long message but replying to it as well. You have a very kind and genuine heart. Please don't have tears I'm at peace with it and in a way what I have gone through healthwise is a positive thing because my testimony can inspire others and let them know that they can find that little bit of extra strength to keep going especially if they have faith that God would never give us more than we can handle and when we can't take one more step God carries us. Christmas time has been a bit hard these last few years as Mum passed away three years ago on 26th of December and thirteen months and one day later on January the 27th. I'm blessed that my best friend of 35 years (we met at school when we were 10) and her extended family are like my second family and have helped me to do everything. I'm pretty sure I'll get some cookies made as I like to give people things I've made. I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a wonderful year. Xx

[@amyrivers4093]

@@busybody57 thank you for your prayer. You are so kind.

I can't imagine losing my mom, especially around Christmas. But I know she's watching you and so proud of how you are pushing through. And glad that you have a wonderful friend and family to help and to have that gret support system especially around Christmas. For me it's all about my family and friends, so it makes it special when they can be near ❤️ all the very best this Christma and hoping those cookies go perfectly for you!! 🥰

[@barbarawachob580]

Would the whole be equivalent to a #1 tip?

[@LittleCookieCo]

The holes are all different sizes so tip #1 would be more of the detail icing or maybe outline, but might be a bit thin for outline!

[@tabsvids2554]

How long do you let your outline dry?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Usually a few minutes is enough. I normally outline all of my designs that are the same, and then when I go back to flood they're all dry!

[@ladyfermenter-ThanksAPint]

So beautiful!!
