EPIC Satisfying Cookie Decorating Compilation ~ the very first cookies I made in 2018

As we enter 2021, I've been thinking a lot about the last year (oh, 2020!)...which has made me also think back to the beginning of my cookie journey. I posted my very first cookie decorating videos on Instagram in 2018 (I had started my IG in 2017, but had begun my royal icing journey about 5 years before). So I wanted to take some time to look back to the beginning of my journey; a retrospective of sorts! To start, I've put together this compilation of my favorite cookies I filmed in 2018. The compilation is chronological from the beginning of the year to the end. It's really neat to see how I progressed with both my decorating and filming/editing skills during that time! We ALL start somewhere.

DiamonDust (edible glitter!!): bit.ly/3sqtZnF
Elite color (powdered food coloring for painting and dry dusting): bit.ly/3xVsb7l
Master Elites (highly pigmented powders for coloring icing...a MUST for red and black!!): bit.ly/3k1L8Af
***Please note: my LEMON royal icing recipe does NOT work with all of the Master Elite colors due to the acidity of the lemon juice -- a VANILLA (non-lemon) recipe is best used for the Master Elite pinks, otherwise I use all of their other colors with my lemon recipe (I use Wilton pink with my lemon recipe)

Want to learn how to decorate cookies with my online classes for all levels? Click here: thegracefulbakershop.com/ Please note: due to a malfunction on the back end of my KZbin channel, all comment responses I’ve ever given as the channel owner prior to April 6, 2023 were unfortunately deleted (any comments left after that date are still OK). It’s such a bummer and I appreciate your understanding ❤

[@halliemosteller8678]

I can’t even draw a picture of a cookie that looks that good! 👏🏻

Same😂😂😂😂

[@dawnelizabethbrowne4835]

I watched this with my 3 & 5 year old daughters this morning and they want me to tell you that you are the “best cookie maker in the world!” Your work is beautiful and your videos are so fun to watch!

[@Maeda_Miakoda_Gaming]

I wish this had some sort of floating watermark of your channel name because I'm sure someone out there has reuploaded this as their own for views because you're an amazing artist! You deserve every view and minute of watch time!

[@bjelam9718]

I so agree and wish you would have a TV show God Bless you . B.J. from TX.

[@beatrixutcza729]

I agree!!Allways use watermark of your channel name! You are amazing!!! I just started to watch your videos..I am so impressed! Keep posting more photos, videos! Do you also sell your products somewhere? Best greetings from Hungary! :-) Beatrix

[@patriciahazeltine9986]

Just a quick gif of a thank you cookie would be cute to have or happy birthday...

[@stephanienoire1892]

I've heard that KZbin discourages watermarks (to limit TikTok reuploads)

[@moony4649]

I am sorry ur not just an amazing or graceful baker..you are a heavenly baker...i can watch ur words for hours so relaxing and inspiring

[@kataylove]

I wish you had a picture or video of when you started your journey 5 years before because this just looks like you started off talented haha. My first royal icing cookie didn't look super bad, but it also wasn't instagrammable. I wish people who are starting off could see that!

[@poetsfinest]

I've been looking everywhere for that across various people that I follow. No one has posted the begining but I'm hopeful someone will.

[@jennicajill2]

Those bubbles in the beer glass BLEW MY MIND. Also your perfectly straight lines are perhaps the most impressive thing about your work. Your videos are so inspiring, thank you!

[@jelly_queen2557]

I started making cookies like this last July and all of a sudden people wanted more and more so I started a very small cookie business that I do at my house for people who live in my city and I love doing it

[@judymischel2750]

Glad to hear your love for cookie decorating turned into a small business. I've been dabbing in it off and on since last Christmas and would love to have it turn into something a little bigger (but not full-time). Do u have any tips or tricks? I finally got a good cookie recipe...after too many tries ended up in the trash. But I still struggle with icing consistently 😩 Thanks Judy from AZ

[@coolcat3452]

This artist literally drew everything! Impressive!! Hats off!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@patriciahamer419]

Wow...you are amazing...thank you for all the time you must have put into your art to become this good ❤️✌️

The truck cookies with the apples and pumpkins are just adorable!!!

[@heyodi3092]

I am speechless. Unreal talent. Absolutely beautiful work!!

[@robyncarter5135]

Seeing it in fast-motion makes it almost seem doable. Of course, watching a master at her craft adds to the illusion.

[@jewel07ful]

I don’t know how you come up with the ideas you put on the same style cookie shape. Amazing

[@lifeisbeautiful7047]

I was so stressed , one of your videos appeared I saw it and kept on seeing multiple of your videos. And now I feel better .. i love your creativity and how satisfying your videos are.

[@senangmasakeasycookchannel5566]

[@ginamallano7608]

You’re skills are unparalleled and your videos are amazing therapy 😍

[@Wendy-cj5yz]

You are one talented lady. Awesome detail. How you do on and then make multiples of the same design. Whatever they cost won’t reflect the skill.

[@jewel07ful]

This video is mesmerizing. You are a great artist and I could watch you all day.

[@diytv]

These are so beautiful and creative!

[@nahidfatma4071]

Your art is on another level I love cookies and cake decorating but your decorating is best of all 😘

[@monicacole9904]

Hi Grace! The first.video of yours i ever.saw were the 17 hearts...I'm watching it again, right now. Im not sure how it came across my youtube, but i was instantly hooked and had to learn how to bake and decorate cookies!!! That was end of february or beginning of march and i am still practicing. You have mentioned your icing recipe using lemon juice...is there anywhere we can get a.copy of your ri recipe? Thank you. I LOVE your creations and your commentary. You seem very down to earth.

[@joicefreitas4135]

That's a really wonderful job, even you hadn't sophisticated professional tools back at that time, you could do amazing arts in beautiful cookies

[@yiselmarieaj017]

I respect other people's opinions... but let me tell you that there is no way that you can dislike this. This is pure perfection... gorgeous, masterpieces that look delicious to eat, but also not wanting to damage them and keep them... 👍🏻😀🍪

[@DuckandRed1625]

I'm just here because your videos help me sleep! Also the cookies look so good! I love your work!

[@kreynolds6424]

[@womanofgod9184]

You are very talented. This is peaceful to watch. I want to buy some cookies. 😋😋

[@Gigisdarlins]

I just want the recipe! That looks like THE perfect cookie. 🤤 gorgeous talent!

[@paulakuzontkoski1811]

Absolutely lovely! Such precision and attention to detail. What brand/model projection machine do you use for custom designs? Thank you in advance.

[@MrsMac-wo2iq]

Your consistency is perfect. When I started mine was always too thick. Then I made it 20 second and then 10. It still doesn't come put smooth like yours. Once I'm done flooding and go back in with the needle to push the icing it's already started to begin to crust and makes it difficult to move around.

[@coolcat3452]

I literally got up, made my tea & waited for this to be served some of these!🤣🤣🤣

[@circasurviver3]

Vermont!! Woot woot 🌱🌼🍄🌳 these cookies are amazing works of art I bet they taste great too but who would want to eat something so pretty!?!

[@FlourEggsYeast]

I was mesmerized

[@jennifermckinney2254]

Thank you so very much for sharing friend. This relaxed me so much and let me tell you I've had a very busy day. I'm in health care and I have been going all day and this literally relaxed me. I can actually get ready for bed bc I'm so relaxed. You're so talented friend. 😁❤🥰

[@phrainkeey1331]

Your cookies are absolutely beautiful and amazing. Question do you always use the same frosting for the outline and flooding

[@janinecarlenabayan1568]

Omg I want those for different celebrations of our family 🤴👸👪

[@aneesaabdool5389]

Wow... You are really talented, i enjoy all your videos.... 🌷

[@Anna-if6ii]

You were a natural!!

[@dinberrykitchen8090]

So beautiful and cute cookies 💕

[@eligr6299]

Impresionante. Qué bonito dibujas, eres genial!

[@jeanniehobbs1433]

Why do you sometimes put a line in the middle of a shape, like in the base of the snow globe or the arms & legs of the gingerbread man, when you're just going to cover them up anyway? Do they keep the icing more even?

[@debbiebuttars5598]

You're simply amazing!

[@heathermac4024]

Dame your good I mean you are really artistic it's amazing ,the disighnes the weighting the everything is just so perfict

[@gabriellastauffer]

THE HEDGEHOG HAD A BASSOON AAAAAH

[@sirixis5204]

[@crysme]

i feel that my brain receives a dose of serotonin watching this channel

[@YeungGor16]

[@FlourEggsYeast]

LOVE THIS!

[@boothgoodies6348]

Yesss! I have to go to work soon, but I’m tagging this for when I go to bed tonight. #ASMR

[@laisagna]

[@Naptime777]

[@octeriagary7199]

Amazing skills!

[@AugustHawk]

I would like to see a video of people receiving the cookies and eating them. How do they actually taste? 😁

[@Blkbtrfly07]

Do you make these to sale and ship? These are Just Gorgeous!!

[@janeenmitchell4417]

You are so dang good and interesting to watch!!

[@esthermarcen7587]

Could you do one video with flags (flag shape, rectangular, etc),, that I will copy lol, mainly the Finnish one? love your work♥

[@americangrrl1013]

ok i think I actually may have figured it out.. Is it a cutout of Vermont State??

[@CutiePie4325]

the teal pumpkin project is an initiative to signify halloween treats that are safe for children with the 8 common food allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat, soy) so if you sell teal pumpkin cookies it would be great to accompany them with a disclaimer that they’re not safe for people with allergies

[@diank3392]

What kind of pen do you use? Is it save to digest? :O

[@judymischel2750]

Do you use outline and flood? Any icing tips? Recipe? Thanks

[@robinpauline911]

I would love to try this but I'm not sure where to start.

[@martilives3697]

All I can say is that I humbly wish I could eat gallons of these beautiful cookies…

[@ivaneiarocatelli6296]

Tudo muito lindo 🤗🇧🇷🤗🌸

[@mariavictoriahernandezvarg4991]

[@ollol5981]
