i have premade royal icing in white. All you have to do is warm it up and squeeze out the nozzle. I'm going to try it.

[@Greatcreationsfauxcupcakes]

I wanted to let you know. I did your Valentine’s Day cookies and they were good. But I keep practicing and the Easter cookies came out even better. 😆 I got the best compliment from my sons girlfriend’s sister. She said there was no way my cookies were made at home. She said they had to come from a bakery. I was so excited. Thank you soooo very much! ☺️☺️

[@CookieSchool]

That is awesome, thanks for your message

[@bettywest8191]

Thank you for the push, followed your lead and turned out a Bunch if beautiful Valentine heart cookies!😘

Keeping me intrigued with this vid. Covid-19 has made baking my #1 priority. Love this video.

[@beckyshields700]

WOW..I could watch you for DAYS!

[@Rezbone]

I love the way you say “about” ❤️

[@RaynaLarios]

This is so awesome! I want to learn how make cookies and learn how to decorate them. I had some cookies at a Birthday party and they were soo good and then again at my son's class party. Love to draw but not sure if It would be harder to pipe on a cookie. Could you do a tutorial on what a person what need to get started. I already found a cookie recipe, they all seem to be the same ingredients. As far as supplies, tips n tricks is what would help me. It's worth a shot! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!🙏🤗❤

Wise words Marlyn! Cute cookies.

[@CookieSchool]

lol I try June

[@kerrimcleroy4830]

Absolutely fantastic!! You're definitely a great teacher! I'm a beginner, and I just keep on practicing!

[@CookieSchool]

You got this!

[@liesahealy-miller2156]

Thank you! Nice and clear and easy for us beginners!!

[@CookieSchool]

You are so welcome!

[@kathyenglish775]

So cute! And these would be fun to do with kids--simple but they look more complicated.

[@CookieSchool]

Yes this is a beginner video I think it could be a wonderful family activity

[@kathyenglish775]

@@CookieSchool I have a 7-year-old grandson who loves to decorate with me. I'm always looking for this kind of cookie. You're amazing!

[@broscaro]

Hi! I love your videos! Thank you! I would love to see how you make red and black Royal icing from scratch.

[@calygil2521]

I love how you try to push people to try things

[@gladysprentice9637]

Great video, thank you. I am new at this,just learning. What consistency of royal icing are you using here ? Thank you

[@Greatcreationsfauxcupcakes]

I did my Valentine’s Day cookies like you did. They came out pretty good. I made my Easter cookies just waiting to pipe the icing cause I’m kinda scared..lol. But I have everything you suggested. I’ll let you know how it works.

[@CookieSchool]

Sounds like you're having fun though, please keep at it 😊 it gets easier every time

[@ladyshakari]

I need this one

[@isabelmargaritagonzalez5228]

Muy lindo. Puede usar glasé un poquito más consistente o un deshidratador para que no se hunda el glasé. Pero maravilloso su trabajo.

[@evacaramico3496]

Beautiful!!!

[@michelestoute-smith2092]

Love your videos and how simple you make everything look. Great tips too (pun intended).

[@jeantuholski6817]

I am a beginner at cookie decorating and found your Easter cookie video terrific and very helpful. I have a question about your gel colors for these cookies. Did you add a pearl essence of some kind to make the colors look satin-y and appear pearl-like? Or does the electric color set you recommended have this quality? Just beautiful. Thank you for. Motivating and encouraging me! Jean

[@shawdaej_c4502]

Love this video, very helpful can you do a video on materials? Like where to buy, things we need. I want to get into making cookies. But don’t know where to start. Thank you!

[@CookieSchool]

Hi Shawdae, I created an album on FB with amazon links, here you go facebook.com/pg/MontrealConfections/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10156260006397993

[@RaynaLarios]

Yes! I had the same question. 😂 Thank you!😊

[@funkyvictoria5736]

Aww cute

[@Greatcreationsfauxcupcakes]

I wanted to ask you since I’ve been having such a blast watching your videos and learning so much from you. Will you be doing a Mother’s Day cookie design video? I know it sounds like a stupid question but I’m a visual kind of learner and if I can watch I can duplicate but I can’t seem to come up with fresh ideas in my mind....lol

[@CookieSchool]

I will do some flower cookies which could work for Mother's Day

[@rosaandrade2205]

I came across your KZbin channel and I love your way of teaching your patience and explanation are very suitable for me, thank you for all your tips. I am a beginner Iam having major difficulty with the consistency 😠and ideas to color the cookies. Are you looking at a picture to get ideas on details??? Thank you again for your time. Stay safe blessings. I am in California 👋👋🥰

[@CookieSchool]

I'm glad you enjoy they way I teach, I get ideas from all over there are many pictures on the internet. Yes consistency is hard, just practice it will get easier.

[@jbuggy1957]

I love It. Thank you.

[@CookieSchool]

I'm glad you like it

[@samveigh7497]

the sanding sugar gives the chick cookie kind of a PEEP effect. Love your videos!

[@CookieSchool]

You're so right & if you google you'll actually find a peeps cookie cutter set which makes adorable Easter cookies

[@lisasteiner7636]

How did you make the brown for the sheep's face and legs? Did you mix colors?

[@CookieSchool]

That is Taupe by Americolor

[@narimanjansen128]

Love all the piping but I'm scared what if I don't get it right you make it so easy

[@unclebuster1281]

Love it

[@CookieSchool]

Thanks so much

[@elizabethivey9326]

How did you make the taupe color?

[@ZellaBlue]

Have you considered using a spray bottle to add water to the royal icing?

[@CookieSchool]

I have, now I use a water bottle with a piping tip on it

[@robinabbott7049]

Are you back???

[@luisbs198]

Great video

[@CookieSchool]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@luisbs198]

@@CookieSchool just did the lil chikens 😍

[@homemakingwisdom]

I made some cookies to take to a friend's baby shower, were they perfect no but this literally is my 2nd time decorating cookies but they did turn out cute. You will never learn if u dont at least start. I'm a beginner and icing was everywhere, I didn't mess up the cookies but, I just couldn't tie the bag good enough so it just drip out of the top. Also dose anyone know how to use the tie thing, because I must be using them wrong. Besides the mess, I had fun and they turned out ok.

[@CookieSchool]

Thats awesome!! I personally don't use the ties just don't overfill the piping bags & you'll be fine, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@camilletomer]

I didn't get a chance to see this yesterday, and I'm so glad that I didn't miss it entirely! I LOVE this! This is a fantastic tutorial for beginners, along with some great tips on ways to make them look good even if you are new to cookie making! Almost makes me sorry I don't have Instagram! (Almost. 😉) Two questions: 1) My daughter is allergic to the markers. Would it work to scratch the surface with the scribe tool/toothpick, or is there a food-safe pencil somewhere? 2) How did you get that cute dimple in thw piink in your bunny ears?

[@CookieSchool]

Hi Camille, Thanks for watching for your daughters allergy to the markers you can scratch the cookie I don't do this because it's harder for you guys to see the guideline in the video. The cute dimple you mention is an icing crater so it's a flaw the icing sank when drying there is no way to get a dimple exactly where you want it lol. Have a great Saturday, Marlyn

[@Avaaellaa]

So you don’t use two different icing consistencies ? I’ve watched other videos that will use a thicker icing for the outline and then another one that is more runny for the filling

[@CookieSchool]

You're right that how many people do it I've figured out how to save a little prep time by only using one icing. If you get the icing to about 20 seconds it can be used to outline.

[@JazzyPhay15]

I like this way a lot better! That way I’m not having to make double the icing PER color! Love love LOVE this video!

[@dlminor]

Do you use tap water or distilled water or water that has been filtered? Thank you so much for your videos? I am a beginner and your teaching has helped me so much!

[@CookieSchool]

I'm just using regular tap water, nothing special is needed you can also add lemon juice to the icing to punch up the flavour.

[@lilbandit77]

So you outline and flood with the same bag?

[@CookieSchool]

Yes thats right

[@abbyarenas7617]

How big are the cookie cutters? 3.5 inches?

[@CookieSchool]

yeah that's about right, the Wilton sets are never that big

[@susanpiper2785]

Thank you for this video. Where can I find a tray like the one in your video?

[@CookieSchool]

That's on amazon, a bead tray

[@beckydiaz1317]

What size are the black pearls used?

[@CookieSchool]

4mm, I listed stuff in description box.

[@storiclement]

Can you give me your cookie recipe? Mine keeps spreading.

[@CookieSchool]

Hi Stori, can I ask you if you add the leavening agent (baking powder) if so you should either reduce by half or completely omit this ingredient. The next thing that really makes a difference is baking a frozen cookie, you cut & freeze you shapes & place them in the oven frozen. Try that before trying a new recipe.

[@storiclement]

@@CookieSchool no I used a recioe that doesnt call for baking powder or soda but did call for cream tarter.

[@nancymcnee2707]

Food Markers? Your link goes to Foodoodler brand but they don't have a black one. You show a single black one? Which brand? I'm loving those sheep! I am new to royal icing & sugar cookies! Help! I am in Canada.

[@hollydavis8644]

so you don't use 2 different consistencies of icing?

[@CookieSchool]

No I don't

Your hand must hurt after awhile...lol

Do you have any ideal how irritating it is to hear you say the word “just” so many times??
