Easy Candy Cane Cookies

What makes these Easy Candy Cane Cookies so special?

This set was made with at-home beginner cookiers in mind, so it uses ONE consistency, ONE shape and 2 colors. Yes, you heard that right! Now that’s my kind of beginner class!

Fewer consistencies and colors = less time spent prepping.

One shape = less money spent on supplies. 

Love the candy cane? Try out the advanced version of this set! It’s the same cutter but we’re taking this up several notches with the skills and techniques covered. Check out the Candy Canes class here.

Royal icing skills covered in this class:

  • One consistency outline and flood
  • Working with tipless bags (and cutting tipless bags)
  • Piping and flooding with a thick flood
  • Wet on wet technique
  • Basic line work with a flood consistency
  • Using sprinkles

Free Resources for this Set

For every class set, I still produce my usual YouTube videos. One is a sped-up compilation of the full set (at a more reasonable pace than the fast video above) and the second is a tutorial. This tutorial video is *not* at all like the class video.

The free YouTube tutorial video (below) shows each cookie in real-time with a voiceover, however, it is much shorter than the class videos and does not include any additional resources (classes include a 60+ page workbook).

VIDEO COMING SOON

I deliver my class videos as if I was teaching a live class, so a 20 minute YouTube tutorial can easily be a 2 hour class video. Either way, I like to provide different levels of information with different levels of investment. Choose the path that best suits you!
