Hi, there! I’m Grace and I’m so excited you’re here.
I am the force behind The Graceful Baker® on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok and YouTube. I am a royal icing cookie artist that creates accessible cookie decorating content made to inspire, educate, and satisfy.
Completely self-taught as a cookie artist, I have poured countless hours into mastering royal icing and growing a community of loyal followers who turn to me both for decorating tutorials and royal icing prowess, as well as a source for stress-relief, highly effective child entertainment (it’s true!) and a side of education about a variety of topics.
Some of the most popular collections I have created include Pride Month 2021, a set celebrating Black women’s beauty and contributions to history, Super Bowl LVI, various diverse holidays (such as Lunar New Year, Diwali, Easter, Eid al-Adha, Rosh Hashanah, and Christmas), and my signature shape series sets (like hearts, circles, trees and clovers) where I do a wide variety of different designs with one shape.
Born and raised in Vermont, my roots are in the woods but my heart is here in the big city of NYC.
P.S. I’m on a mission to get to 50,000 sessions in the most recent 30 day period so that I can apply for my dream ad management company–this means that I can have ads on my blog, which means I can create more FREE content for YOU!! As of December 18, 2022 we’re at 20,946 sessions. Set a daily alarm to visit the site and let’s do this!!!

I have not! and probably won't as I'm wary of using any copyrighted imagery from the show :/

Would you please share the name of the burnt orange color you just used on the hexagon cookie? Love it!

hi! so sorry I'm going to be unhelpful here... I never use a color straight out of a tube and usually mix colors from scratch. this would be red plus yellow and probably a bit of brown?

I love your design! You are such an inspiration. I’ve been making cutout cookies since I was a young girl with my grandmother and I know make them with my kids. Have you ever made some Super Bowl designs?
