The Art of Royal Icing For Cakes And Cookies
Everyone thinks that piping with Royal icing is difficult and a specialised skill, but it actually is very simple once you know a few easy tips and techniques. We’ll teach you all of these so you will never have any Royal Icing Fails again!
You will also learn the recipe for the ultimate, best tasting cookie. The exact same cookies we use all the time in our professional studio, for Harrods, as well as Royal weddings. Ideal for decorating, they keep their shape, don’t spread in the oven, and stay flat.
This skills-packed course will expand your repertoire and build your confidence for using the age old technique of Royal Icing, equipping you with all the skills you need to build your cake and cookie portfolio (…whether you are creating cookies or cakes!)
Hi Budding Cake and Cookie Designers!
Are you feeling overwhelmed, and stressed out about using Royal Icing.
Perhaps you’re starting to feel stuck in a cake decorating rut, wondering how to create unique designs for those last-minute orders…
Worried how to pipe those gorgeous monograms or messages that are always requested on a cake or cookie.
Or finding yourself spending days and days trying to come up with something new for your portfolio or a bespoke customer order…only to end up with complicated designs that take days and days to create, eat into your profits, and ensure you end up working for peanuts…
Have you ever wondered how professional cake designers consistently work with Royal Icing in new and innovative ways.
I'm Rosalind and I've felt those same feelings...
Being worried that I'm not piping correctly.
Terrified of piping directly onto a cake!
Thinking I lack knowledge and practice using Royal Icing.
Wondering how those exquisite monograms that look so professional, and add that extra touch to a cake or cookies, were created?
Unsurprisingly enough, this all led to a sense of being scared to use this wonderful icing, thinking I had to have spent years and tears learning how to use it.
But when I started, I realised this was an incredibly versatile decorating technique! With the insider tips we give you, you'll also discover it isn't actually as difficult or daunting to learn as you first thought.
As Rosalind Miller Cakes grew, things changed, and as we started teaching more and more classes, we decided that it was our mission to free other cake makers from all of that stress and guesswork. We wanted to make cake-making straightforward and more enjoyable than stressful. To simplify the process and make creating a new cake design exciting rather than fear-inducing.
So we opened Rosalind Miller Cake School, and set out on a mission to put the joy back into cake making for those that had lost it. And to teach simple, transferable techniques that can be used to make beautiful cakes but don’t take endless hours to create, giving our students design freedom and enabling them to actually make money from their work.
Today we run sold-out classes online, so you can access them wherever you are in the world.
In fact 1000s of people, both complete beginners and advanced cake makers, have learned with us and benefitted from our 10+ years of experience in running an award-winning cake studio and supplying cakes to Harrods and royalty around the globe.
We teach our students everything we've learned from our professional experience as a successful cake business, so we know that the knowledge and techniques we’re sharing really do work.
Many of our alumni now have their own cake businesses, and have transformed their cake-making experience and re-ignited their passion for cake design.
Do you want to regain your cake making confidence?
Safe in the knowledge that you can easily create on-trend, bespoke cake designs that your customers will love and don’t take up all your time, enabling you to turn your passion into profit and make money from your cakes? If you want to feel that passion for cake making again, you can get our step-by-step guide breaking down the decorating and stacking techniques into easy-to-follow video tutorials, that will open those doors for you.

Hi, we're Rosalind and Becky!
Rosalind, Creative Director
"I founded Rosalind Miller Cakes because of my love of art and design, as well as cake of course! I was an artist and a lecturer at London's Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design for many years before turning my hand to cake. I wanted to create cakes that were centre-pieces in their own right - in other words, edible works of art.
The taste of the cake has always been just as important as the design, and we take pride in our recipes and ingredients. My daughter and Managing Director of Rosalind Miller Cakes, Yasmine, has been vegan for 2 years, and has been instrumental in the development of our vegan recipes. In her words, they're the best vegan cakes she's ever tasted!"
Becky, Production Manager and Senior Teacher
"I've been a professional cake maker and baker since 2015 after studying Decorative Arts. I've always loved being creative and making others happy by baking treats for them. Before joining Rosalind Miller Cakes, I worked in a variety of different bakeries learning different skills, and since joining I discovered my passion for teaching. Unsurprisingly I have a HUGE sweet tooth (definitely a job requirement), and fun fact, I'm definitely a buttercream gal (although since working here fondant icing and I are now good pals!)"
