Pssst! I'm spilling the beans: The Cookie Rookie Guide
Welcome to my very first blog post! Here you will find a collection of all my favorite things and links to where you can get them. When I first began cookie decorating, I wasn't sure where to start, and a list like this would have been unbelievably helpful to me as a rookie! These are all products that I have used and recommending from personal experience. They may or may not be fit for everyone so I highly suggest doing your own research before purchasing anything! I will be updating it as I discover more amazing things. Enjoy!
