I made this set with beginners in mind as it is simplified as much as possible (if you’ve only done my one consistency beginner classes, it is the PERFECT first class to try out two consistencies for the first time!) Taken my Beginner Christmas class? This is the perfect next class to uplevel your skills! 

Quite possibly the best part? You get SIX designs out of just THREE cookie cutters! Fewer cutters required = less money spent on supplies. 

Keeping it light, fun and sweet by using neon pink and lime green (instead of the usual red and green—but you can absolutely use red/green if that’s what you have/prefer!)

Note: while these cookies have gingerbread designs, the cookie recipe is still my signature vanilla bean recipe.

What makes these Gingerbread Sugar Cookies ~ Fun & Sweet Christmas Cookies so special?

Love gingerbread houses and men, but don’t actually like gingerbread? I gotchu! This set of iconic gingerbread designs was simplified as much as possible as the PERFECT introduction to a two consistency outline and flood.

(Now, if you have no idea what I’m talking about with this consistency nonsense, let’s just say this set is GREAT for beginners.)

What makes this set special?

1- I’ve simplified the cutters needed to just include 3 cutters (house, man and circle) to create SIX different designs!

2- Instead of the traditional red and green, we’re rocking a fun hot pink and lime green to make this set so fun + joyful!

3- You’ll learn how to do the wet-on-wet candy cane techniques that has absolutely taken the cookie world by storm!

4- All designs are simplified as much as possible for minimal technique and maximum impact!

Royal icing skills covered in this class:

  • Two consistency outline and flood
  • Working with tipless bags (and cutting tipless bags)
  • Working with sprinkles
  • Wet on wet technique

You will learn how to decorate (from start to finish) SIX Gingerbread Sugar Cookies

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!
