Saturday Spotlight: This Week's Hot List

Phew, I see light at the end of the top-coating tunnel! After icing another few hundred cookies this week for the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show (I'm doing a large-scale cookiescape with the help of Cookie Connection members Charlie's Cakes and Cookies and Lucky Penny), I'm liberated at long last to do the part of cookie decorating I love most - the detail work!

 

I guess we cookiers are cut from the same cookie dough, because there was no shortage of painstakingly decorated cookies on this week's Top 10 Hot List!* From an elaborate cookie carousel made with embossed cookie dough to a scrapbooking set complete with stickers, ribbons, and crafting shears, each honoree clearly demonstrates that God is absolutely in the details. 

 

Top Ten

 

Now, grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine (depending on your time zone), kick back, and absorb the extraordinary love and care in each of this week's hot picks.

* As a reminder, a word about how the rankings are determined: The rankings are not at all subjective. In fact, they are determined essentially by you, our members, and the activity (number of views, likes, and comments) you've bestowed on each photo. The site uses a top-secret algorithm that weighs these various factors to determine which photos are trending most quickly (i.e., are the "hottest") over specified periods of time. As such, the hot list at the time of this announcement may look a little different a few hours or a day from now as more photos are added to the site. But what you see here is who was hottest over the previous week at the time of this post!

 

So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.

Oh, what a wonderful surprise when I looked over to see what the Saturday Spotlight was! This is such a fun and varied collection of cookies!  There is so much talent and diverse styles here. Love these!

Congrats, everyone! Also a heads up to the honorees - congratulatory "I was featured" badges will get distributed late tonight. I am headed into a full day of board meetings right now, but didn't want you to think I had forgotten them.

It's a dream come true!!!  Never in a million years would I have thought this could happen......

I am so honored to be in the company of these extremely talented and creative cookie artists.  Congratulations everyone!

Just saw this this morning.  Totally speechless.  Thank you all who viewed, liked and commented.  I made the carousel for our county fair.  Judging is today . . . wish me luck for a ribbon.

Yay! How exciting to be spotlighted twice  I just wish I had more time to hang out on Cookie Connection.  I'd could easily peruse the gorgeous cookies everyone one posts ALL day long!! Thank you Julia and everyone else
