Session Overview

• We will begin with a comprehensive icing demonstration; you'll watch as I mix a batch of royal icing from start to finish in a KitchenAid stand mixer.

• Then we will review the different consistencies: stiff, detail, flood, and hybrid, and how to achieve each one.

• Each student will receive a bowl of freshly made icing to experiment hands-on and follow along with mixing to each consistency.

• Add color to bring your color palettes to life.

• Learn to fill your piping bags to prepare for decorating.

• Practice with each different consistency utilizing various techniques.

Additionally, I will introduce a dehydrator as a method for quickly drying icing transfers.

You'll have plenty of cookies to practice on using your prepared icing. 

This is your time to ask questions, troubleshoot in real time, and refine your piping technique.
