Hi, I'm Sara!
And I know exactly what it's like to struggle with decorating cookies!
I began taking decorating classes to improve my piping skills. Fast forward 8 years and MANY batches of cookies later ... now decorated cookies are one of my go-to treats when celebrating special occasions.
During my many years of practice, I have compiled a LOT of information about decorating cookies and written a beginner's guide to cookie decorating. I’ve used that knowledge to help cookie decorators of all levels improve their skills through my website windycitybaker.com. Because of the experience I gained practicing, I won Chicago's Best Baker Competition in 2019.
