TUNDE'S ROSE COOKIES

I’ve just completed one more wonderful online class taught by Tunde Dugantsi, and I am so in love with this set! Two-dimensional piping in all their floral glory… To join her classes and have immediate access to all her videos, click here. This adventure started with a little boo-boo on my part . By mistake, I read the supply list from a class that was not yet available, and when I watched the…

TUNDE'S QUILTS

These designs from Tunde Dugantsi were shared online in 2021 (click here to join her club), and I did try them once in the past but thought they needed improvement. I share today the outcome of my new attempt. Now I am much happier with the way they turned out! So, in cookies – as in life – if at first you don’t succeed, try again! The whole set involves nine square cookies, and Tunde provides a…

A BASKET OF FLOWERS FOR MOTHER'S DAY

Some cookie projects leave me paralyzed with fear and self-doubt. They seem too complex, and way out of my skill level. But I get that nagging temptation to give them a try, in part because deep inside I know that if we don’t try to tackle difficult things, we don’t improve. We stay where we are. Not that there’s anything wrong with that… Tunde shared this new tutorial, and after a lot of inner…

I'VE GOT THE BLUES

Tunde’s Glamorous Blue Cookies, that is… Originally she made them in green, I decided to change a bit and make a different color, but keeping the designs unchanged. Tunde’s creations are always full of details and often rely on fine lines to shine, so there is no way to sugar-coat the pill, they can be challenging. Some of my lines don’t fall smoothly, the curved shapes end up with some slightly…

VALENTINE'S BOX OF COOKIES

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! How about offering that special someone a box of cookies made of…. cookies! The whole design was conceived by Tunde Dugantsi, and shared in her club earlier this month. I jumped on it and had a blast putting the pieces together. The tiny heart cookies are fun to decorate and you can do pretty much anything you like, although I went with her goal which was basically a…

TUNDE'S WHITE ELEGANCE

This was my first cookie adventure of 2024… A tutorial by Tunde Dugantsi, using one single color, white. Many different techniques for piping, I would consider this project medium to advanced. Fine line piping is definitely a big part of it. And by now you probably know how much I love the challenge of it… Only one design of Tunde’s seven cookie class is missing from my collection. I made a…

BACK TO SCHOOL COOKIES

This group of cookies was designed by Tunde last year, but only now I had a chance to make them. Check her site (click here) to join the Cookie Academy and gain access to many video tutorials uploaded since 2020. That is such a nice set, absolutely perfect to give to kids going back to their teachers and schoolmates. Overall they are not too complicated to make, but the pencil and brush require…

TUNDE'S FLORAL PLATTER

These cookies were made following a very recent tutorial available for members of Tunde’s club. You can read all about it and join with a click here. I would say this is not a beginner’s project but not too difficult because the fine lines are not that many and don’ t need to be as perfect as when piping a grid. But you will work with several different techniques and icing consistencies. I truly…

TUNDE'S 4TH JULY COOKIE PLATTER

Tunde has a full tutorial to make them and also sells the appropriate cookie cutters in her shop (you can find all the info by joining her site, with a click here, and find the cookie cutters info in the end of this post). This platter is made with 20…

TUNDE'S COOKIE BOX ADVENTURE

To join Tunde’s Cookie Club, visit her site with a click here. Another great online tutorial hosted by Tunde Dugantsi, I would classify it as a more advanced project because some assembly is needed. As you might see from my write-up, the sizing of the panels can make or break the design. I urge you to do all the proper filing and adjusting BEFORE you decorate the panels, and also make sure the…
