A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the Strawberry Jam Cookie Decorating Class this past
Saturday, June 15th! It was a delightful afternoon filled with creativity, fun, and, of course, delicious cookies.
We hope you enjoyed learning new decorating techniques and indulging in some sweet treats. Your enthusiasm and creativity made the class truly special, and we can't wait to see how you continue to apply what you've learned to your own baking adventures.
For those of you looking to recreate the magic at home, we've put together a list of recommended supplies to get you started. You can find everything you need from piping bags to edible decorations here. Additionally, we’ve compiled a series of cookie decorating videos to help you perfect your technique. Check out our video tutorials below.
We'd love to see your decorated cookies! Share your creations with us on social media using the hashtag #StrawberryJamCookies, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further tips.
One of the most common questions I am asked is "what do you use for this or for that" - so I thought it would be helpful if I created a list of the supplies I use most often for everything from baking to icing to storing.

The Process
Make dough
dough can be frozen for 3-4 months in an airtight container (I wrap in cling wrap and then put in ziploc bags)
Roll dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper
Cut cookies (if you need a unique cutter, I can make just about any shape - they are $5 each)
Bake cookies then sit on paper towels to absorb butter while cooling
cookies can be frozen for 3-4 months. I place in airtight containers.
Make icing
color icing (adding a drop or 2 at a time)
spritz to get to detail consistency and then bag
spritz to get to flood consistency and then bag
icing can sit on counter for weeks and in refrigerator or freezer for months, but you may need to remix it to even the color.
Outline the area to be iced
Flood the outlined area
Allow the icing to crust (15-30 minutes)
Add details
Dry for 24 hours before packaging
Place in cello bag (if you do not heat-seal the bag, then you need to place the cookie in an airtight container)
On counter - cookies are good for 2 weeks
In freezer - cookies are good for 3-4 months
I hope you find these resources as helpful and inspiring as I do in your cookie decorating endeavors. Remember, if you ever have any questions or need guidance along the way, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
