Hi, all! Thanks for allowing me a brief reprieve from Spotlights last weekend. I am still deeply under water with my workload, and anticipate being that way through the end of October, so I ask for continued patience. While there was a wee gap in the calendar tonight, I suspect I will have to skip an occasional Spotlight or two between now and when I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. (The combination of my online cookie competition, my new website, and a large, seven-week-long cookie decorating class, all hitting me at once, has my nose pretty constantly to the grindstone.)
Anywho, this small window of calm tonight has let in a huge ray of sunlight! Many of the cookies on this hot list* shout summer (or are just plain fun), and all are universally stunning. What's even greater is the fact that we've got two newcomers to the Spotlight (if I'm not mistaken)! Special congrats to @VCHT Cookie ART and @coco.icingcookie, who also earned the coveted cover spot with her set entitled "Summer Dream". And dreamy, it is!
Let's see the other stunners on the list, shall we?!

Again, really lovely work, everyone! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. If the Cookie Gods are with me next week, hopefully I'll get through my planned class prep quicker than usual and have surplus Spotlight time again next Saturday!
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.
