Celebrating Black Women ~ Satisfying Cookie Decorating | The Graceful Baker

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. It is my goal through sharing this video and the real time tutorial with voice over video (linked below) that everyone's local cookier knows how to make these beautitful cookies of Black women :) Enjoy!

Check out the shorts videos here on YouTube for information 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.

Big shoutout to @reneemoniquedesserts! I spent a lot of time researching on my own, but I also exchanged numerous messages, questions & ideas with Renée.

*I do receive a small commission from items purchased from my shop. I only include items I personally own and love!*

Projector: I own both of these projectors. I first owned the Pico and purchased the Bluetooth as an upgrade. If budget is a concern, the Pico gets the job done (just make sure that you're plugging it in correctly!). Otherwise, I recommend the Bluetooth - it has a better/brighter image and connects via Bluetooth.
