How to Assemble 3-D Cookie Boxes (The Basics)

Cookie boxes make great edible gifts - especially when filled with more cookies! In this video, I show how to assemble already decorated cookies into perfectly fitting 3-D boxes using the mitering technique. I also discuss how to apply decorative seams and provide templates for two of the boxes pictured in the video.

As soon as I start to create 'll show you. I'm just an amateur in the kitchen .... I am taking a course in culinary through the Internet here in Brazil . And the lesson I'm watching now is decorated cookies, then I found your videos that will be a great addition to my learning . A big kiss!

[@marquettemd]

These are amazing! It's quite like putting together a gingerbread house. The accents you add, really make the whole design "pop." You said the boxes are large, and I was just wondering approximate dimensions. We all probably have a different idea of large. Thanks

[@Joxxer36]

[@user-it8io3zw5v]

Я готова смотреть бесконечно,очень превосходно

[@gingerbreadjill]

I have been playing around with doing a cookie box for a birthday gift, but something larger. Do you ever use caramel to glue together your boxes?

[@tashaortega5445]

How did you make the roses on the sides

[@marielpacific9275]

About how far in advanced do you think these can be made? I would like to do these as Christmas gifts (and I'm not a chef of any kind), and while I would like to give the gingerbread as fresh as possible, I know I can't do them the night before. Thank you for sharing this. What a gift you have!

[@marielpacific9275]

Thanks, Julia. Again, God bless your talent. You really have a gift.

[@coconutmartini1070]

Do you send your dvd's to south africa?

[@jasminehammoud2876]

can we do an edge then in the fridge and then to the next one?

[@jasminehammoud2876]

***** i mean you do one corner then you wait until it is done then to the next on

[@leslielai6944]

can i shave the sides before coating it with icing?

[@daincarandang7603]

Would I be able to use melted chocolate for these?

[@charizard39fptb97]

Hi do you have videos for fake wedding cake

[@simplybeautifulcakesllc]

have you made mitered cornered box lids?

[@simplybeautifulcakesllc]

***** I am going to be making a surprise box on top of a cake.. and it will have a surprise in the box... the lady will take the lid off to see what's inside. so I was looking for some ideas on how to make the lid.

[@simplybeautifulcakesllc]

***** Thank you Julia for your help... your boxes are beautiful..

[@MrsChibi100]

I've watched a few of your videos where you have had to turn your creations and I was wondering why you don't use a turn table?

[@ursocacho]

I'll look , because the page has previous and atuais.mas year courses if you have not come back to talk to you . Thank you for your help!

[@hibaallak1136]

Love your work❤❤😍.... but the tamplet link doesn't work🥺❤

[@JuliaMUsher]

That's because my site is getting redesigned and all of the templates are stored on it. Until the new site is up, the links won't work. Thanks for your patience.

[@shadowprincess261]

amm do you give some curses en a school or something like that? i want to lear all aboout cookies and i am interessed to travel to learn can you tell me some information :)

[@Vicioman72]

cual es la receta de la masa de las gattetas, podria compartirla a mi email [e-mail] estan hermosas todas sus creaciones tiene unas manos increiblemente hábiles, la felicito

[@ursocacho]

Sorry Julia . I do not speak english. What I said is that the Eduk site has old and recent years of courses and I'll see if I think your going there.

[@raisajay7563]

This is terribly random and not related to the actual boxes themselves. I cannot help but wonder what the little white candies are that you have in the boxes?

[@raisajay7563]

Okay, I thought they were either meringues or something made of marshmallow! Either way, they look delicious!

[@raquelceciliacarcamocastil8662]

Hi Julia, I salute you from Peru recently wrote in espaañol but I think you did not understand my question. I would love to be able to compare your book but now for many reasons it is impossible to me, but I will not stay with the doubt after much effort I wanted to do the chest of the heart that is in 3 D and the truth that I've thrown a lot after being baked dough. that for the furnace is broken and falls all in the tray, you help me and tell me I'm wrong or that the recipe I do is not for you. Please work on this and need to offer such beautiful things as you, can you help me tell me I as prepared and what are the amounts of the ingredients. Please no longer what else to do.

[@michellewalker304]

Have you ever had a cookie broke by shaving the sides down?

[@foxheart877]

So beautiful :)

[@foxheart877]

***** And thank you for the awesome tutorials! Always inspires me to go and try it :)
