To anyone who wants desperately to understand the magic that is cookie decorating -- I made you something. It's this post. I gathered some of my favorite tutorials on the most basic and key parts of cookie decorating from the mystical world we call "The Internet" and put them all together right here for you to peruse as your time and attention span allow.
And to those of you who couldn't stop decorating cookies even if your house fell over and you had to climb mountains and swim through rivers while being chased by an extinct animal from the Triassic Period for more powdered sugar -- I love you. You already know that. If I missed any great beginner tutorials, will you let me know?
