As we enter 2021, I've been thinking a lot about the last year (oh, 2020!)...which has made me also think back to the beginning of my cookie journey. I posted my very first cookie decorating videos on Instagram in 2018 (I had started my IG in 2017, but had begun my royal icing journey about 5 years before). So I wanted to take some time to look back to the beginning of my journey; a retrospective of sorts! To start, I've put together this compilation of my favorite cookies I filmed in 2018. The compilation is chronological from the beginning of the year to the end. It's really neat to see how I progressed with both my decorating and filming/editing skills during that time! We ALL start somewhere.

Sterling Pearls (metallic dusts like gold): https://bit.ly/3AN5Quh
DiamonDust (edible glitter!!): https://bit.ly/3sqtZnF
Elite color (powdered food coloring for painting and dry dusting): https://bit.ly/3xVsb7l
Master Elites (highly pigmented powders for coloring icing...a MUST for red and black!!): https://bit.ly/3k1L8Af
***Please note: my LEMON royal icing recipe does NOT work with all of the Master Elite colors due to the acidity of the lemon juice -- a VANILLA (non-lemon) recipe is best used for the Master Elite pinks, otherwise I use all of their other colors with my lemon recipe (I use Wilton pink with my lemon recipe)
