My word, putting together my new cookie decorating app has been like birthing a baby! But it's finally done and ready to push out into the world (so to speak)!

Celebration Giveaway

To help spread the word about its birth, I'm running a little Rafflecopter giveaway from today (November 7, 5 pm central) until November 14 (5 pm central), which you can enter on my Facebook page or via the link below. Rafflecopter will present you with all the various ways you can enter, but (hint, hint) the more things you do (tweet, write a blog comment, etc.), the greater your odds of winning! Entrants have the chance to win one of the following five prizes, which have a combined retail value of over $150. Just think of the Christmas gift potential - if not for you, then for someone else!

  • First Prize: A promo code to access the app, both of my books (Ultimate Cookies and Cookie Swap), and my DVD video series ($70-plus value)
  • Second Prize: A promo code to access the app and both of my books (Ultimate Cookies and Cookie Swap) ($50-plus value)
  • Third Prize: A promo code to access the app and my book Cookie Swap ($25-plus value)
  • Honorable Mention: A promo code to access the app ($7 value)
  • Honorable Mention: A promo code to access the app ($7 value)

Of course, skipping the giveaway and buying the app (it's just $6.99) is fair game too!

  • 20 in-depth technique tutorials, companions to some of the videos;
  • 12 cookie and icing recipes;
  • 9 technique sorts to help you find all the projects that use your favorite techniques or ones you want to learn more about;
  • Project sorts so you can quickly find projects (from beginner to advanced) to suit your skill level;
  • Tips about my favorite tools and supplies;
  • Chat areas for commenting, asking me questions, and providing feedback;
  • A resource guide; and more!

And here's a little sneak peek if these words aren't enough to get you revved up . . .

Being able to be creative when cookying, sharing ideas and inspiration, being inspired by people like you and everyone on this blog. Cookying has opened a world, literally, of friends out there!

I love that I am able to use various methods to express my creativity. So far I have tried wet on wet, stenciling, painting on cookies, edible marker, and royal icing transfers. I hope to explore airbrush and 3D cookieing!

I love the cookie community!!  I adore being as creative as I want to be with cookies.  I have always had a thing for cookies, but now I get to put my spin on them.  Being a cookier helped me to find my inner voice...I am grateful for being a cookie decorator.  It just makes me happy.  

I love that I learn so much about cookies from this site and I love that they can be so detailed or simple and still look amazing and they last longer than cake, well unless my kids get to them

Last week, my three year old grandson and I made Halloween cookies.  He picked out the cookie cutters and we rolled and cut the dough together.  I knew he had a good time, but the next day, his mom told me that all he did was talk about making cookies with Grandma, and that his favorites were the Frankenstein cookies.  I enjoy creating cookies for friends and family, but THAT was the BEST!

I love that when I pick up a cookie and some icing I can leave the rest of the world behind. All the stress and pressure of the day slips away just like the icing flowing out of the bottle. It is very relaxing and, a ton of fun!

Sorry, not a tech geek, but can't you run an app on a Mac through iTunes? I'll ask my tech guys and get back to you if you don't know, but I'm not a Mac user.

Heads up - my app should be available for Android devices later today. Other outlets beyond iTunes are coming very soon. Just check back to this link and you'll see when the other stores have gone live because they will light up and the words "Coming" will disappear: http://www.papertrell.com/apps...ers_Ultimate_Cookies

 

Many thanks!

BAKRGAL - just fired off your question to my tech guys; will let you know what they say as soon as I hear.

 

If anyone who has purchased has support/tech/device questions related to the app, please contact support@papertrell.com directly, as I am not able to answer any technical questions. i Just don't have the expertise. So far there haven't been any questions other than someone having her iPad on mute (thus videos could not be heard!), but just in case.

Just checked and the app is not compatible with Macbook. So sorry - it works on just about every other device.

Thanks for checking.  Most apps developed for iPhone or iPad don't run on a desktop or laptop without extra work being done.  I think at some point, I'm just going to have to break down & get the iPad!

Thanks so much, Kippy's Kookies!

Congrats! So exited about this Giveaway!I love baking and decorating cakes;Im a little "obsess" about cookie cutters and beautiful art of cookies and finally take the plunge and dare to try I'm hook! thanks so much for all what you share with us!

Thanks for sharing your awesome talents in another medium...the app! I love baking and being challenged with new ideas. I always think that if a decorated cookie doesn't turn out how you want it to look you can eat it in the dark, right?

RIGHT, FigTales. Totally agree about eating it in the dark - or even in plain view!
