Let’s face it, one of the best parts of the holidays is all the delicious baked goods and Christmas treats. If you look forward to the cake, chocolate, or cookies every year, chances are you would make a great culinary artist. Some schools offer programs that specialize in baked goods, while others offer general culinary arts degrees. If you have a love for restaurants and trying new food, culinary arts management may be the right track for you.
Sometimes even online schools offer culinary arts programs so you can earn your degree through online courses while you work or keep up with your social life.
Try these Christmas cookie decorating techniques, test your culinary arts skills, and enroll in a culinary arts online course!
1. Stenciling - With this technique you frost your sugar cookies, put a stencil over the cookie, then cover the cut out area with sprinkles to make a shape on the cookie.
2. Flocking - Flocking lets you create a 3D sparkly effect on cookies. First you pipe frosting on the sugar cookie, cover the frosting with colored sugar, then shake of the extra sugar.
3. Drizzling - This delicious technique is done by drizzling confectioner’s sugar glaze, or melted chocolate over cookies.
4. Marbling - Marbling is an advanced technique where you frost sugar cookies with confectioner’s sugar glaze and let it dry before dipping a crumpled piece of wax paper into a thinner confectioner’s sugar glaze and pressing it onto cookies to make them look like they are marbled.
5. Dipping - Dipping involves dipping cookies halfway into a thin confectioner’s sugar glaze and letting the cookies dry before serving them.
6. Glazing and Decorating - To decorate your cookies this way, first frost them with confectioner’s sugar glaze and let it dry. Then use royal icing to pipe details and patterns on top.
