Embellished Cookies is full of delightful cookie-decorating designs for every occasion and holiday, from luscious springtime flowers and Easter treats to handbags, tea pots and rocking horses for themed events or birthdays. As well as baked, decorated, and embellished cookies, the final section of the book shows you how to make cookie bouquets – why not make one for a special occasion, or gift one to a loved one.  

Simple and easy to make, the basic cookie recipes – which include shortbread biscuits, gingerbread, sugar cookies along with a royal icing recipe – can be used to make all the wonderful designs featured. Every iced design includes easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and photos.

Robyn King is a qualified pastry chef with 40 years experience in the industry. She is a very experienced cake/cookie decorator/teacher,and regularly does demonstrations at specific functions. Robyn belongs to cake/cookie decorating groups where she is able to not only share many years of knowledge but also learn new techniques and tips from other members.

Her passion started when, as a young child, Robyn remembers standing on a chair making cookies with her mother. At the age of 14 she attended a local Community College where she learnt the finer details of decorating. This knowledge was the key factor in gaining work experience which then led to an apprenticeship as a pastry cook. During this time Robyn won numerous awards in every category of Stage 1, II and II at Technical College.

In 2013 Robyn opened her own shop The Embellished Cake Creations supplying decorating equipment, baking products, and running classes – whilst continuing to keep her hand in decorating wedding/special occasion cakes and cookies.

Embellished Cookies is Robyn’s first book.
