Meeting the creators behind the deserts would be really cool. I love people who are passionate about what they do and can talk about their love of food and learn from these experts.  It would be great to be in a room filled these wonderful artists! Thanks for the opportunity to try and win one of these tickets! 

This is absolutely amazing. The main reason I want to attend cookie con is to try and improve my skills as much as possible and learn from the most amazing cookiers in the world. I know that I've improved a lot in the last year, but I also know I have so much to learn. Beyond that I want to meet all the amazing people I've been talking to during this past year and have formed a bond with. I've never felt more accepted or like I belong anywhere as much as I do with the amazing cookier community. Thanks Tammy and Julia for creating an opportunity for those of us that couldn't afford a ticket a chance to attend. 

I really, really, REALLY NEED to go to cookie con to get experience and meet all my favorite cookiers and inspirations. It is so sad how much I NEED to go to CookieCon, Ever since I discovered Sweetopia's cookies, I've been in cookie mode nonstop (ask my family!) I want to make cookies, look at cookies, draw cookies, decorate cookies, etc all day long. I don't know what else to say besides I REALLY hope I can go. It would be SUCH an honor to be among the great cookiers that I admire everyday (from my computer :/ ). Thank you to the cookie queen (Julia Usher) for giving us 'little people' an opportunity to go to cookie con. This is truly wonderful. So thank you.  

I've been doing cookies almost 6 years now and not once have i ever been able to go to any sort of cookie event or convention due to them being so far and costing so much. I would love to finally go and meet fellow cookiers that i've been following and talking to for all these years. Also it falls a few days after my birthday 

I would LOVE to go to Cookie Con!  I have only been doing serious cookieing for a relatively short time, so I feel I still have lots to learn.  Plus, it would be great to be among people who share my obsession - my family is beginning to think I am nuts.

My daughter has just recently graduated from Culinary school and has her heart set on a baking career, wanting to help people with special needs (allergies, etc) be able to have access to baked treats.  I am a 2-year cancer survivor and I try to help her where I can, mostly on the decorating end.  We both have so very much to learn still...I don't think that process will ever end, but a trip together to this gathering would be a great head start on her journey, a wonderful learning experience for me, and a sweet celebration for both of us that we could not otherwise afford.  

I really really want to go to cookie con because cookies have changed my life in the past year and the people I have met online are amazing. I would love to tell them so in person. I've never had a passion as strongly as this an finally there is a con just for me! It seems a shame to miss it due to financial struggles. Thank you for this chance to win.
I was counting down the days to purchasing my ticket to Cookie Con. The time came and I did not have enough to pay for a ticket. It would be a dream come true to be able to go to Cookie Con for the first time and meet all the incredible people. 😊

CookieCon was one of the best weekends I have ever had last year!! Had a blast seeing the different techniques and meering all the wonderful instructors. Met a lot of awesome cookie decorators from all over the world. Would be great to go back to learn some more and shop, shop, shop!

.. I cannot believe I have an actual chance to win!! I would love this opportunity to strengthen my cookie decorating skills!! I'm new and I would love to be side by side with the best!! ❤️

I would really love to go to since I would be a newbie and would love to meet all the great cookie artists that I have been following and inspiring to reach their talent level one day....

Wow! What a wonderful give-away! Just wanted to say how kind and generous you both are! Thank you Tammy and Julia!  I have learned so very much in the last year! Watching videos is a great but it is nothing compared to seeing first hand what is happening behind the scenes. And to meet the ladies and gentleman who have helped me on my journey would be so exciting! And believe me there are many!  Thank you again!

 

I would LOVE to have my trip to Cookie Conn sponsored by the wonderful Julia and Tammy!  Yes, I'm pulling cookie all nighters to pay for this otherwise...

I would LOVE meet all of my online cookie "idols" - but even more, it is meeting a group of my peers - and eat sleep talk COOKIE...I always feel that in person lessons are amazing! 

THANK YOU for offing this  - golden ticket - !!

 

Love watching and learning from many wonderful Cookiers, but as great as social media is nothing can replace being there in person.. After reading ALL the comments from all that attended last year How Could You Not want to go.  I saw the date come that tickets would go on sale and watched all thought the day... post after post of gleeful ticket holders. The ticket price just to much for me now. If I won I most certainly would feel like Charlie getting the last Golden Ticket to the chocolate factory!!

Being able to go to CookieCon would be like an athlete going to the Olympics. They are the best of the best! With 2 kids in college and being on the east coast, it is just not in our budget to get me there. This would be a dream come true!

Going to Cookie Con would be a dream come true. I'm a hobby baker and I can't justify the cost of going to my family. I'd be able to somehow make it work if I won a ticket though. It would be so amazing to meet all the cookiers I so look up to and admire. I really really want to go because I have so many questions and I would be like a sponge just soaking up all the amazing information everyone there has to offer. Getting to practice alongside all the other cookiers and sharing information. I'm sure this is a bucket list item for so many of us. Good luck to everyone and thank you for the opportunity.

I have a Charity Bakery out of my home.  I donate either baked goods for Charity events, or donate my profits to local Children's Charities.  It would be awesome to be able to learn more techniques to improve my skills at this convention so that I can donate more to our local charities.

It would be a dream come true to be able to go to Cookie Con 2015. My cookie business has not afforded me the fund to go. Would love the chance to meet fellow cookiers. And rub elbows with the pros. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope.
