What’s the difference between my free resources (YouTube tutorial video) and the paid classes?
YouTube Tutorials
My YouTube tutorials show you one cookie at a time and I’m just doing a voiceover over the decorating video I already filmed.
Paid Classes
The class that you purchased include 1-3 hour class video and a 40-90 page workbook—many people have said the class is worth is just for the workbook.
The workbook includes (as some examples): step-by-step written instructions for each cookie (including photos and descriptions), 10+ pages of how to prep your icing for the set (how much icing, colors, mixing consistencies, etc), ways to save money when executing this particular set, pre-viewing checklist (everything that needs to be prepped before decorating), and a printable practice sheet that is used during the class.
The class recording is very different from the YouTube tutorial: it starts with how to cut/hold the bags, piping practice and then the decorating is done jumping around steps in different cookies so they’re all done at the same time (just like I would decorate myself). The recording is much longer as I’m demonstrating different techniques and pausing to explain things (much more information than I can give in the YouTube tutorials that don’t stop). The videos are all private YouTube videos and I do welcome questions in the comments section which I always answer (on my public YouTube I’m not able to answer all questions).
Which class level is right for you?
First off, I’d like to mention that ALL of my cookie decorating classes include the same cookie and icing prep regardless of the skill level. While others differentiate skill level partly based on how much prep is provided, I provide the same prep regardless and differentiate skill level based on the techniques covered in the set.
I believe anyone from a total beginner to intermediate+ can take any of my cookie decorating classes because there is always something to learn and, heck, I made these cookie decorating classes because these are designs I’d make myself! Check out some of these reviews below:
And here is how I classify each skill level:
BEGINNER: These cookie decorating classes are especially designed for those who have never worked with royal icing before. I use as few colors as possible and typically just one consistency (and my more recent cookie decorating classes focus on using just one shape). These designs have beginners in mind as well, so I will often choose design elements that will hide common mistakes beginners make and as much as possible I reduce any extras needed like tools, sprinkles or cookie cutters. These parameters allow for less prep and investment all around.
ADVANCED BEGINNER: These are a clear step up from beginner cookie decorating classes. We are using two consistencies (sometimes more) and often a custom set of cookie cutters. These sets tend to use more decorations/tools as well. That said, I’ve had many students take an advanced beginner class as their first experience with royal icing ever and they’ve loved it!
INTERMEDIATE: These sets are more like how I would decorate cookies if I wasn’t doing it for a class. We decorate just as I would, not cutting any corners to make things easier 😉 Designs will often require more involved decorations and tools, such as luster dust.

What happens after you purchase the cookie decorating class?
You will receive TWO emails immediately following the purchase.
- The first is titled “Thank You For Your Order!”. It will come from my email (thegracefulbakernyc@gmail.com) and either my name Grace Gaylord or The Graceful Baker. In the middle of that confirmation email is a button titled “view instructions”. Click on that, which will bring you to a new page and a download link for the workbook. The workbook includes everything that you need (including the link to the YouTube video). Please note: you do NOT need to sign up for Dropbox to download the workbook! There is a download button in the upper lefthand corner. If you’re not able to find the email, try the following: 1) look in your spam folder; 2) search by my name (Grace Gaylord), my email address (thegracefulbakernyc@gmail.com) or the title of the class purchased (Beginner Christmas). This is an automated email from Flodesk and often gets lost in inboxes or spam folders.
- The second is an email that I send just in case you’re not able to find the first email. This email is typically titled “Since you purchased [CLASS NAME]” – this email includes the workbook link as well as a few reminders.
