Learn to decorate easy Easter egg cookies like a pro with this Beginner Easter Eggs online cookie decorating class! Perfect for beginners, this class will teach you how to create beautifully decorated Easter eggs using simple techniques. Impress your friends and family with your newfound skills!
AND, this class is the perfect complement to the advanced beginner/intermediate Easter Eggs class. The beginner version uses fewer colors, consistencies and doesn’t require any extra sprinkles, etc. Start with the beginner, and then graduate to the more advanced!
A small selection of the sets I’ve made are offered as online cookie decorating classes. For a full selection of all cookie sets I’ve made (both those that are classes and those that are detailed in full on the blog), click here.
Allow me to wax poetic on why I love these easy Easter egg cookies so much!
First off, the ingenuity of my beginner classes will never get old to me. I love the enabling constraint of coming up with beautiful designs that use just one consistency, a very limited color palette, little (to no) extra stuff (like sprinkles or tools) and above all are EASY to execute at the beginner level!
Secondly, while I absolutely adore the designs from the more advanced Easter Eggs class, I made it my MISSION to recreate the most classic Easter designs without any extra decorations! Do you know how hard it is to make bunnies and chicks without eyes?!
Why did I want to avoid eyes?
Doing animal eyes requires either specialty black pearl sprinkles, edible marker or black icing (who likes to make just black icing for a couple of dots?!). So I set out to make designs that evoked bunnies and chicks without. Might I say I’m quite pleased witih the results 😉
Easy Easter Egg Cookies
What makes these easy Easter egg cookies so special?
First… ONE shape!! You said you need a whole set of cutters for an Easter set? Nope, just an egg! That means less money spent on supplies.
Second… just five colors (yes, that’s an accomplishment for an Easter set! LOL). That means less time spenty prepping!
Third… ONE consistency! Again, less time spent prepping!!
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
- Crackle technique
- Wet on wet technique
- Basic line work with a flood consistency
- Flooding in sections
- Cutouts
- Creating dimension and texture with just one consistency
You will learn how to decorate (from start to finish) EIGHT easy Easter egg cookies
Easy “Bunny” Easter Egg Cookie
There might not be any eyes, but you still know it’s a bunny from those tell-tale ears and nose!
Easy “Chick” Easter Egg Cookie
A little play on a chick coming out of a cracked egg… who doesn’t love more crackle?!
Easy “Stained Glass” Easter Egg Cookie
Flowers elevated: for this cookie we’ll tackle a more complex wet on wet design and throw on some crackle to give it a stained glass look (just like in cathedrals!). (And the crackle covers up any mistakes… which we love!!)
Easy “Carrot” Easter Egg Cookie
One of my FAVORITE ways to add extra dimension and texture with just one consistency is to scrape the bottom layer instead of doing a traditional flood.
Easy “Flowers” Easter Egg Cookie
This is the most classic way to do a wet on wet flower. Something everything should know how to do!
Easy “Waves” Easter Egg Cookie
A simple just-for-fun egg design featuring flooding in sections!
Easy “Wet on Wet” Easter Egg Cookie
No Easter egg set is complete without a wet on wet design. I bring you the simplest AND most effective one 😉
Easy “Heart” Easter Egg Cookie
A fun play on polka dots featuring a head cutout!

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).
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!
