A Heartfelt Thank-you and Important Update about My Kitchen Club and JULIA-brand Tools

 

My dear stencil customers and Kitchen Club members,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some long overdue and important news about a significant change in my Kitchen Club and JULIA-brand tools brought to you in partnership with Confection Couture Stencils.

As you probably know, over the past seven years, I have worked with Confection Couture Stencils to develop a line of cookie stencils and cutters unparalleled in its details and features. Together, Confection Couture Stencils and I have created hundreds of stencils and cutters that have set new standards in cookie decorating. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved and how these products have advanced the art of cookie decorating for so many of you. More importantly, it has been an absolute joy to create cookie tools that have helped you bring your beautiful and unique cookie designs to life. I have especially cherished the opportunity to meet many of you and to see your lovely work while answering your questions and assisting with your designs.

However, after much reflection, I have decided that it is time to close this chapter of my cookie decorating journey with Confection Couture Stencils. You, our treasured stencil customers and Kitchen Club members, have been the heart and soul of this endeavor, and I am deeply grateful for your loyal business, which has made this line so successful. While I have thoroughly enjoyed the product development process and seeing the amazing creations you've made with my JULIA-brand tools, I have decided to curtail the development of all new JULIA-brand tools with Confection Couture Stencils for the foreseeable future. Instead, I will be focusing my time on my core cookie decorating pursuits, primarily developing new techniques, teaching classes, and creating online tutorials.

Rest assured, my existing products will remain available; you can continue to purchase them on www.confectioncouturestencils.com. I will also bring you special sales on them from time to time. Additionally, all active Kitchen Club members, your 15% site discount on confectioncouturestencils.com will remain available until September 30, 2024, allowing you to continue to enjoy the benefits of your club membership. Likewise, Confection Couture Stencils will ensure ongoing access to all videos purchased on their site for the foreseeable future. Should you have any questions about the continuation of your particular benefits, please direct them to service@confectioncouturestencils.com.

Thanks again for your enthusiastic embrace of my line and the tremendous pleasure you have brought to this phase of my cookie journey! I look forward to continuing our journey together through my classes and tutorials (and, who knows, perhaps with other new products in the future?!). I am, as always, excited to see the incredible creations you continue to make. ❤️

Thank you SO MUCH, Teresa. I figured you knew something was up, as I hadn't released a new stencil set in a while. I had wanted to let people know sooner, but, unfortunately, it took several months to craft the terms of my exit agreement, and I wasn't at liberty to discuss anything until the terms had been settled. I really enjoyed my stencil era with Confection Couture Stencils, but am elated to be regaining time to focus on my core decorating and to open some new doors!
