I had searched and searched for online classes and surprisingly came across some adorable miniature cookies, and other products on the Facebook page Art by Tay. Her miniatures, were done so well and looking so so real. I decided to get in touch with Tay on Dec 31 2020, I asked Tay for some advice about cookie decorating and equipment. Tay was gracious enough to answer me, as much as we were strangers to each other, she didn't mind helping me out at all. I'm so glad to have been able to save up for her private instruction and decided to take her private comprehensive sugar cookie decorating class, with Art by Tay. I have learnt so much and really appreciate the one to one time she gives in her zoom class. Annette makes it so worthwhile, and as she gave the individualized instruction, it made me perfect the cookie decorating techniques, thus giving beautiful results. Miles away in two separate continents with myself in Africa and her in Canada, we still managed to have our class with ease, that was full of fun and productive. Tay and I even sung in Swahili together and my husband could hear us laughing and enjoying the time we spent together. Thank you so much Tay for sharing your knowledge and experience, you have helped me to advance in my baking career and business.
Looking forward to an advanced class soon!

Having recently attended a 1:1 session with Annette - all I can saw is wow! Even before the lesson, Annette provided me with a great workbook which included recipes, hints & tips. The lesson itself was informative - learnt heaps and really helped me gain confidence in a range of cookie making and decorating techniques. As a tutor, Annette is kind , nurturing and genuinely cares about improving your skills. Have already booked in for my next class!

Thank you so much for the intimate virtual class. Everything was great from the cookie book with instructions given beforehand to the step by step tutorial during class. My first virtual cookie class taken and I’m so happy you were my instructor. I felt so confident after my class and even better I knew I could send you a message with any follow-up questions. First class with Tay and definitely not my last.

Recently I took a fantastic private class from Annette, of Artbytay! She’s a very talented designer, who has great ideas, tips, and communications skills with her students. With all her class offerings, it was hard to decide which techniques to work on. We finally settled on her Easter Cookie instruction. However, she actually tailored my class to address my current needs, to also learn how to be a virtual teacher myself. Besides all her many skills and the ability to share them, her positive attitude and encouragement was wonderful. Thank you Annette for a great class. I look forward to another one down the road!

Hi ! My name is Anne. I took a virtual cookie class from Annette to help me with Royal Icing Consistency. The virtual class was so much better than watching videos as I had been doing. Annette walked me they each step. We worked together making the initial recipe. She directed me until I had the right consistency. Annette was so easy to work with. Keeping me on track and focused during the entire class. (My mind can easily wonder ..lol) I was nervous with making icing before this. She taught me not to stop too soon or go to far with adding water. However she showed me what to do if I needed to correct it, when I added too much . We then decorated a few cookies together. Her technique was much faster for me Annette was a very patient, knowledgeable and fun teacher. It honestly felt like we were together working side by side in the same place!!! I would highly recommend Annette’s class.

This week I had the privilege of taking a class taught by Annette Taylor, a/k/a/ Art by Tay, which was for writing on cookies. Taking her writing class was the best decision I have made since I started making cookies. It is definitely worth the investment, and it will not be my last class with her. Annette is so down to earth and makes you feel so at ease. The lesson does not just stop when the class is over, as she is available for follow up questions whenever you need her. I really appreciate her time. I have just started my cookie making journey and I have a long way to go, especially with the writing. I was really struggling with the writing on cookies and the consistency of icing, but she had me do things that I didn’t even know I could. If you are just starting your journey in making cookies, and you need help, then I highly suggest that you turn to Art by Tay Danita (Texas, United States)

Tay is an amazing artist. She is friendly and genuine and I can’t wait to order more ornaments (I ordered 12 this year for myself and some family members). If you’re stuck on an idea she can pretty much read your mind on what your vision was.
My boyfriend loved the ornaments I had made for our tree as they will be ones we collect for a life time. Can’t say enough how happy I am!

My entire experience was absolutely great (from consultations, completion and delivery)! Tay is so easy to work with and is very responsive to messages. I wanted something customized and she would draft it up and make sure that’s what I had in mind. She is also very accommodating when comes to local pick up (I have to work around my 2 kids schedule, so having to pick up in Burnaby was a huge plus for me). As buyers we just have to remember these are all handmade. So we cannot expect the 2 exact items would look exactly the same since these aren't manufactured by machine for mass productions, But you can tell each one was made with so much love, every brush stroke and all the details!!!
