Well, I'm ready for brighter, warmer days every day (and not for sun-bathing, but to help my cookies dry faster!), so I'm going to will the new season to arrive (at least in my mind) by plastering this site with super summery artwork this month: Isn't our June...Read More...

Hi, all, I've been receiving an unusually large number of questions about how members can edit or delete their own content.

Hi, all! Before posting images or videos to the Clips area, please review the site's Terms of Use , as well as all of the following posting rules.

Not to sound too much of a suck-up, but you can't go wrong with Julia's "Ultimate Cookies" book! I love the beautiful artistry of all the cookies and the gorgeous photos. It's eye candy! I've spent many hours just ooooh and ahhhing over all the...Read More...

I bought it some months ago and I love MariËlle's book (aka @dekoekenbakkers) It's plenty of amazing cookies, lovely cupcakes, cakes and seasonal projects. I don't understand a word because it's written in Dutch… but it's worth it anyway! I'm in love with her "Sweet dreams" cookies and cupcakes.Read More...
