Hey, all! I need to be super snappy with this post, as I'm teaching at The Bake Fest all weekend, and I still have some prep yet to do tonight. Aside: As a means of enticing last-minute class-goers to join the event, I submit this collage of my recently re-done demo project (a 3-D napkin ring cookie!). In teaching it, I cover 12-plus techniques, all of which can be used on easier 2-D cookies. Then, in addition to my class, there are about 30 other sessions (including a keynote address by the legendary Rose Levy Beranbaum), and video recordings of everything so you can watch on your own time if you can't make the live event.
Remember, tickets are 15% off with JULIAMUSHER15 through the event, which runs all day on October 5 and 6.
Anywho, thanks for patiently listening. It's important to promote my hosts and their events as often as I can because they put so much love and hard work into making them unforgettable for attendees; plus, whatever I earn from this event and my others basically gets funneled back into supporting the hosting and maintenance of this site. So promoting and attending this event can be win-win for all on many levels.
Oops . . . I've already rambled far too long, so let's dive straightaway into this week's hot list*. It's naturally got a lot of autumn and Halloween representation, but it also contains a handful of cookies with other off-season themes such as the impressive clown competition piece by @Rae Dare-Smith, which was so impressive that it earned this week's cover spot! Congrats, Rae! But read on to see all of the crazy-good cookies that earned our top spots this week!

So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.
