It's Giveaway Time on Cookie Connection!

Yes, it's your lucky day. I've finally got the site's first official giveaway ready for any and all interested takers!

 

I'm calling this one The Great Spring Summer Cleaning Giveaway, because I had every intention of doing it in the spring, but cookie decorating derailed me at that time - and thus further cluttered my work space . . .

 

All of my mounting cookie stuff, including things I bought because I couldn't find what I already had, reached a crisis point last week when I desperately needed to de-clutter in order to prep for my upcoming OSSAS demo. (Seriously, I had no counter space left to roll out cookie dough!)

 

I'm a wee bit embarrassed about how much excess I'd amassed (pretty darn wasteful), but I somehow feel less remorseful knowing that it's going to end up in a better, more organized home! Pictured below is just a small subset of what's up for grabs. These items have never been opened or used; they're just duplicates or triplicates of things for which I have no immediate use . . .

 

AlltheStuff

 

As I said, that's not it. I'm also giving away the following (more photo closeups in the attachments):

  •  An assortment of gorgeous candied mini-roses from Crystallized Flower Company;
  • 15 lb container of Henry & Henry Kwik Fluff meringue powder;
  • 1 lb bag of CK Products meringue powder;
  • 20 ounce bag of Ateco meringue powder (Wondering about the meringue powder surplus?! Side-by-side tests of different brands for an upcoming blog post!);
  • Several envelopes of floral and other patterned wafer paper cutouts from Queen of Tarts (similar to this set);
  • Several 1 pound bags of CK Products fine-grained sanding sugar (lavender, pink, yellow, and probably a couple of other colors!);
  • 3 or 4 small containers of The Baker's Kitchen coarse-grained sanding sugar and pastel confetti;
  • Scads of mini pink royal icing roses from Fancy Flours; and
  • La piÈce de rÉsistance - this fabulous, specially handcrafted (I tease!) tiny cookie cutter key chain!

I haven't bothered to ring up an exact value on the giveaway, but my best guess is well over $500! (The crystallized flowers alone - there's quite a bunch - retailed for about $100.)

 

And so how do you enter to win? That's easy - just tell me what you most want to learn about cookie decorating in the comments area below, and I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner when I return from vacation on August 13 (5 pm central time). Only one comment per person, and please remember, childhood protection and privacy laws prevent us from publishing personal photos, so please avoid them in your comments and posts. They will be deleted. Note: You must be a Cookie Connection member in order to post and play! Simply join on the home page; it's free! (Signup box is in the upper left.)

I want to learn how to make my flooding look smooth, how to pipe lines and dots properly, how to make royal icing flowers, how to stencil, how to layer icing and so much more. Cookie decorating is SOOO much fun and I just love doing it!

I want (and need) to learn how to be more precise outlining my cookies. I can't figure out how to keep the tip above the cookie to drop the lines neatly. I am sure I need to practice more. I think I may need to fine tune the RI consistency at the same time...Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.

I would love to learn everything about using an airbrush -  the basics, care and storage, tips and tricks, how to minimize overspray, how to build a simple box or what ever so you don't spray everything in the kitchen, using it with stencils, easy ombre (is there such a thing) making designs on the cookie.................and everything else.  I am scared of mine.

I've done some pretty snowflake cookies for Christmas, and while the recipients thought they were beautiful and tasty, I want them to react to my cookies like I do when I see the little works of art here and on FaceBook and various websites.  The gasp, the wide eyes, the slow look up at you, and then, "Oh, my!  Did you MAKE these?!", and the smile. Always the smile.

 

Then I get to smile back and say, "Yes, I made them just for you." 


I'm smiling just thinking about it.

I want to grow!! I love the idea of cookies, but like everything its scary......... If i had the right tools them I know I can grow into cookies and for fill a dream of making cookies!! 

Awesome Giveaway!! I got my toes crossed! I would like to learn more about preventing color bleeding and spotting.What causes it? How to prevent it? Its a thorn in the side of most cookie decorators. Also, Which cookie works the best with which icing type. eg royal and gingerbread or glaze and shortbread or sugar cookie, is there a magic combination of sorts that can minimize icing woes? Thanks x
