CELEBRATING Black Women with a Sugar Cookie Tutorial

Description

Spoiler

This set is dedicated to celebrating Black women's beauty worldwide. The cookies in this set highlight the grace and versatility of Black women’s hair, featuring a variety of textures and styles from bantu knots, to locs to afros, to straight hair, to braids & twists (it was so hard to limit myself to the styles, skin tones & hair colors you see here!) There are over 20 designs/styles in total. Enjoy!



Check out the shorts videos here on YouTube for info in each video description on Black women movers and shakers from today and yesterday. I made this set not only to celebrate Black women's beauty, but other their tremendous contributions to history.



**It is my goal that everyone’s local cookier knows how to make these cookies. Please do make these exact designs for your clients and drop any questions I didn't cover in the video in the comments!**

I want to thank the people that helped me make this set what it is. Firstly, to Nadia Williams at @kinkyculturecookieco whose Black Girl Magic set from last summer inspired me to create my own set.

Thank you to Liyou & Brook of @Yomi.Designs for supplying the cutters! A Black-owned cookie cutter shop based in upstate NY, Liyou & Brook are a nurse & engineer (respectively) by day and an Etsy shop owner on nights and weekends. They enjoy creating custom, unique, educational, entertaining and decorative products inspired by their African heritage and culture. I’m thrilled to have designed 4 new cutters with them! -- Yomimarket - Etsy



Big shoutout to @reneemoniquedesserts! I spent a lot of time researching on my own, but I also exchanged numerous messages, questions & ideas with Renée. Renée has always loved to bake & started cake/cookie decorating Christmas 2018. She’s from the suburbs of Chicago & has a 12 year old yorkie that keeps her company in the kitchen during late night baking sessions. Thank you, Renée! -- https://www.instagram.com/reneemoniquedesserts/
