GET TO WORK
Classes, videos, instruction books and drawings can teach you certain cookie making and decorating skills, but nothing prepares you like doing the work! Practice everything. Master the art of icing your cookies, drawing with royal icing, dipping biscotti in chocolate, rolling your dough to perfect thickness every time, etc. Be able to reproduce your cookies again and again with a mechanical-like precision without thinking, and you will save so much time when deadlines loom.
