Welcome to Chapter 2 of Cookie Crafting 101, where we dive into the fascinating world of frosting!
To create the perfect frosting, you'll need to understand the three primary types of frosting: Royal Icing, Buttercream, and Whipped Cream. Each has its unique characteristics and uses, and we'll explore them in detail.
First up: Royal Icing.
Royal Icing is a classic choice for its smooth, shiny finishประก
It's often used for delicate designs, like intricate borders and filigree work. But be warned: it can take time to prepare, so don't be in a rush.
For a more decadent, rich experience, look no further than Buttercream. This versatile frosting is perfect for creating bold, statement designs.
But be prepared to get a little messy, as Buttercream is notoriously temperamental. Practice your piping skills, or risk a world of regret.

For a light, airy, and utterly whimsical experience, Whipped Cream is your friend. It's the perfect choice for delicate, ethereal designs.
But don't be fooled, this frosting can be as temperamental as Buttercream (see a theme here?). Be prepared to experiment with stabilizers and emulsifiers to achieve the perfect consistency.
