Over the holiday break my sister SugarMama hosted a cookie decorating party. She does this annually and invites close friends. It’s a fun way to learn to decorate sugar cookies like a pro. This year she asked me not only to help with set up and participate, but also to photograph the party for her.
We decorated everything from winter mittens to Mr & Mrs Claus, a snowman and ugly Christmas sweaters. We enjoyed appetizers and champagne while we iced the cookies.
Most of the candid photos I snapped of the other ladies, shows their determination and concentration on the task at hand. These women look pretty serious but I can say first hand, they had a great time.
While they learned to drag one color into another to create the knitted pattern for the mittens and sweaters , to hand wiggled icing holly leaves for Frosty the Snowman’s top hat.
Remember always squeeze from the top, or your icing bag could explode!
I love that she does these decorating parties, and helps other learn a few tips and tricks to take their own cookie decorating to the next level.
If you’re looking for a fun new thing to do at a birthday party or themed event, everything from valentines day, kids parties, and summer fun designs, these are always a big hit. Not only is it interactive and fun to do with friends or family, but at the end you get to go home with delicious and beautifully decorated cookies, hand made by you!
You can head over to her instagram and check out @ashley_surgarmama to see more of her amazing designs, she’s also on facebook. She often post quick decorating videos, where you can watch a cookie get decorated start to finish. I promise you’ll be blown away by the colors, details and creative way she turns sugar cookies into stunning art.
