Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Instruction! It's cookie-making season, and I happened upon this course! Stephanie's instruction and demonstration were outstanding. The course elevated my decorating 10-fold. My Christmas cookie recipients couldn't believe I made the cookies myself! Thank you so much.
