Royal Icing Cookie Decorating Class

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when you sit down at a table, sleeves rolled up, piping bag in hand. No screens. No rush. Just you, a tray of warm-scented butter cookies, and the quiet thrill of creating something you'll actually get to eat.This winter season, come make that afternoon yours in our Ryde studio.Over two relaxed hours, you'll decorate 8 golden butter cookies from start to finish. We'll show you the simple secrets behind smooth, glossy icing that behaves the way you want it to—the difference between a cookie that looks "homemade" and one that looks like it came from a boutique bakery. Then we hand the creativity over to you.This isn't a copy-the-teacher class. There's no single "correct" cookie here. You might pipe a crisp, neat design, or flood a cookie in your favourite colour and shower it in sprinkles like it's snowing—then find yourself laughing at the beautiful mess instead. That's the whole point. We give you the skills and every tool, colour, and sprinkle you could wish for, then set your imagination loose to draw, doodle, dot, and decorate your own holiday designs.By the end, you'll have a gift box of 8 cookies made with your own two hands, a phone full of photos, and a genuinely restorative couple of hours away from the noise.You'll also take home our laminated recipe card—the exact butter cookie and reduced-sugar icing recipes we use—so the fun doesn't end at the studio door. Recreate it at your own kitchen table any weekend you like.At Hankerie, we've spent years helping Sydney bakers fall in love with baking that's a little more wholesome: less sugar, more joy, nothing wasted. This class is that philosophy, made playful.No experience needed. Just bring your happy self, ready to get creative.
