Patti will teach you how to use natural, plant-based colors including Supernatural natural dyes for coloring icing, how to artfully decorate cookies using a paint brush (NOT a piping bag!), and use pressed flowers to finish your cookies. You will leave with a gift box of 12-15 square decorated cookies. THE PERFECT MOTHER's DAY GIFT! In this workshop, Patti will teach you: -How to make royal icing using egg whites (and even aquafabba for a vegan version!) -How to color royal icing using natural colors such as freeze-dried fruits, plant-based Supernatural colors, and pantry items like turmeric and matcha powder -How to prevent common problems that can arise when working with royal icing -About sourcing and drying pressed flowers -How to apply the pressed flowers to cookies ABOUT PATTI: Paige, the owner of the custom bakery Baked Ideas, and author of You Can't Judge a Cookie by Its Cutter, has been called the “high priestess of decorated cookies” by Ina Garten.
