TEACHER APPRECIATION | Satisfying Cookie Decorating

In celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week May 2-6…
A huge thank you to all teachers – past and present. Teachers have such an incredible impact on our society and are not appreciated enough by a long shot, especially during the last couple of years. A good teacher makes all the difference in a child’s life. For me, I remember THE teacher(s) that made all the difference at each stage in my schooling. They were the life mentors that pushed me and supported me to become the best version of myself and the person I am today. The amount of compassion and empathy and space that teachers hold for their students is an incredible gift. Teaching truly is a work of heart.

***Please note: my LEMON royal icing recipe does NOT work with all of the Master Elite colors due to the acidity of the lemon juice — a VANILLA (non-lemon) recipe is best used for the Master Elite pinks, otherwise I use all of their other colors with my lemon recipe (I use Wilton pink with my lemon recipe)
