Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

 

Happy fall, y'all! This week, I've been in Maine at my home-away-from-home, enjoying a little time off, replanting pots for the fall, continuing to furnish the house (which may take the rest of my lifetime at the rate I'm going), and just generally enjoying the scenery. It's a glorious time to be here, as you can see below!

I'm also hoping I'll return home to Missouri fully replenished with loads of holiday cookie ideas, as I'd like to get in at least one more cookie class before year end. But 'til then, I'm kicking back and just taking in your grand cookie creations. This week, we have yet another wonderful fall-themed roundup, full of inspiration for seasonal sets. Just take a gander below, and I'm sure you'll agree with my assessment of the site's fall splendor!

#2: Portrait Cookie by Mahsa_abbasi [EDITOR'S NOTE: New member @Mahsa_abbasi wows us for the second week in a row with another incredibly detailed clown cookie. The tutorial for this one is featured in this month's Cake Masters Magazine. You'll find the link to it in the comments under Mahsa's post, and I encourage you to check it out! ~JMU]

#6: Halloween Sprinkle Wreaths by Susie Jacobs [EDITOR'S NOTE: As one who is woefully inept at sprinkle application, I was utterly dazzled by Susie's painstaking and artful placement of them in this set - so much so that she got my vote for this week's cover spot! Well done, Susie! ~JMU]

Congrats to all of this week's honorees on their wonderful work! Also, my apologies for the spotty nature of my comments, but my internet connection here is even more spotty. In fact, I lost this post three times in the course of composing it when my internet connection dropped, so I decided to stop writing and just get it posted. When I'm less likely to hurl this computer against the wall 😣 (hopefully sometime tomorrow), I'll send out badges and get this Spotlight's alert up on social media. Stay tuned. When back in Missouri next week, I promise to be more chatty! 😀

* As a reminder, a word about how the rankings are determined: The rankings are not at all subjective. In fact, they are determined essentially by you, our members, and the activity (number of views, likes, and comments) you've bestowed on each photo. The site uses a top-secret algorithm that weighs these various factors to determine which photos are trending most quickly (i.e., are the "hottest") over specified periods of time. As such, the hot list at the time of this announcement may look a little different a few hours or a day from now as more photos are added to the site.

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.

All photos shown here are the courtesy (and copyright) of the designers listed.

To check out our other hot lists, at any time of day, visit our Hot Spot, also found in the site's main navigation line.

What beautiful creations! Congratulations to everyone!
Your home looks like it’s in a world of its own- what a gorgeous place. It’s fun taking your time to furnish it. That way your search gives you ongoing excitement and possibilities.

Thanks, Tina! I suppose that's the way I should be looking at the process ❤️; instead, I often get frustrated with how slowly I seem to make decisions and how long it takes to get things here (it's pretty remote).

UPDATE AS OF 10/19 (11:15 am ET): Honorees, your "I was featured" badges have been sent via Cookie Connection PM! Congrats again!
