Back by popular demand! Step into a sweet winter wonderland in this joyful holiday cookie workshop. Chef Tess will teach the foundations of decorating cookies with Royal Icing, along with a bakery-style favorite called Black-and-White Cookies. These classic treats are half-way between a cake and a cookie, and covered with glossy chocolate and vanilla ganache-style icing on top.
If you’re looking to start a new holiday tradition and add a truly special cookie to your repertoire, this festive family-friendly class is for you. Gather your family for a fun baking experience or enjoy a little creative time for yourself.
Participants will bake their own sugar cookies in advance so they are ready to decorate at the start of class. About five days prior to class, you will receive a PDF packet with two of the instructor’s personal sugar cookie recipes—one soft and chewy, one crisp—along with a full list of ingredients and supplies for Royal Icing to allow time for shopping and baking. Choose to bake one or both using festive cookie cutters of choice.
The packet will also include supplies needed to create the bakery-style Black & White cookies, which will be made during class. We will also create Royal Icing with the proper consistency, and learn the foundations of decorating with it on our pre-made sugar cookies. No fancy equipment needed.
The registration fee covers immediate family members living in the same household only. If children are participating, adult supervision is required.
Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking since she was roughly six years old -- well over forty years. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using one's senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with one's own hands and creativity, was, and continues to be, an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home-cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. She has recently started writing her first cookbook, and has a food blog in the works.
