You Can Call me Sweetie!! - Blog - The International Sugar Arts Collection by Nicholas Lodge

CALLING ALL COOKIE DECORATORS! We have some really SWEET news! Sandra Beltran of You Can Call Me Sweetie is coming to ISAC this year to teach not one, not two, but THREE amazing cookie classes! We are also pleased to announce that Sandra will be featured as our guest instructor at this year’s Grand Holiday Open House! I am pretty excited for these three classes, but maybe not as excited as Molly who is a pretty great cookie-er too!! Want to know what stunning cookies Sandra will be making? Well read on my friends!

First, a bit about Sandra and You Can Call Me Sweetie! You Can Call Me Sweetie and Sweetie Academy is a Custom Cookie Boutique and Cookie Decorating School located in Miami, Florida. Sandra began her love of cookie decorating in Oct. of 2012 and began making sets for her family and friends. The popularity of her sugar art grew so rapidly that she decided to start a side business and thus You Can Call Me Sweetie was born!!! In the very beginning, Sandra was juggling a full time job as an office manager by day, and cookie artist nights and weekends. But January 2015 she was able to make that leap and finally take her passion for cookie decorating full time. Sandra has become an award winning cookie artist. Winning Cookie Connection’s 2014 Cookier of the Year Award as well as being nominated as a Finalist for Cake Master’s Magazine’s 2015 Cookie Award. She specializes in custom made to order sugar cookies as well as provide group and private cookie decorating classes. “I truly strive for perfection and enjoy working with intricate and innovative designs to give the “WOW” factor to any event. I love sharing my cookie journey with my students and helping them achieve their full potential in this wonderful world of cookie decorating” Sandra Beltran

On Sunday, November 18th, 2018 Sandra will teach a half day class: Unicorn Bliss Cookie Collection. I know I have told all of you how much I love unicorns, so to say I am excited about this class is an understatement! When Sandra sent over class ideas to us, this was the first one I voted for! I l am obviously a fan of the unicorns, but I love all the rainbow and flower detailing as well. Working with mediums such as royal icing, fondant and sprinkles, you will be learning 4-5 different cookies from this beautiful collection; perfect for your clients next event! Piping, flooding, working with different royal icing consistencies, water color techniques on royal icing, airbrushing, hand painted shading on royal icing, piping letters, working with sprinkles, working with fondant accents, royal Icing multi-layering, working with edible images, perfect bows, and working with gold highlighters will all be taught in this class.

Next up, on Monday morning, Sandra has her Art Deco Cookie Collection class! Students will be leaning 10-12 cookies from this collection. When I saw the cookies from this collection I immediately thought of The Great Gatsby! These cookies are stylish and classy. I love the black and color scheme! In this chic class, students will use royal icing, fondant, and stencils to learn how to pipe and flood, pipe fine details, stencil, stencil with airbrushing, incorporate fondant pieces, hand paint on royal icing, sequins techniques, work with metallic highlighters, work with edible lace, and ruffle flowers.
