Pressed Flower Cookie Decorating

Join us in the studio with Patti Paige—artist, baker and the founder of Baked Ideas, a custom bakery in New York City, for an afternoon of creative cookie decorating! Patti will teach you how to use natural, plant-based colors for coloring icing, how to artfully decorate cookies using a paint brush (NOT a piping bag!), and use pressed flowers to finish your cookies.

You will leave with a gift box of 12-15 square decorated cookies (perfect for Mother's Day! a $50 value).

In this workshop, Patti will teach you

• How to make royal icing using egg whites (and even aquafabba for a vegan version!)
• How to color royal icing using natural colors such as freeze-dried fruits, plant-based Supernatural colors, and pantry items like turmeric and matcha powder
• How to prevent common problems that can arise when working with royal icing
• About sourcing and drying pressed flowers
• How to apply the pressed flowers to cookies
