FeaturedSaturday Spotlight - This Week's Hot List!

Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

Julia M. Usher 4/2/229:57 PM

Spring continues springing up here on Cookie Connection! After a robust list of springtime and Easter cookies in last week's Spotlight, you all have outdone yourselves again. This week's hot list* presents cherry blossoms three ways (intricately painted, with piped cutwork embroidery, and alongside piped Japanese textile patterns); Easter eggs in two vibrant styles; and other spring flowers of various sorts (mimosa, crocuses, and folk art-style daisies, to name a few). It's clear to me you're all enjoying the start of the new season, and I am thrilled to see how it has inspired your cookies.

Read on, everyone, for a most charming edition of our Spotlight. And congrats to all of our featured honorees! Keep on cookie-ing!

Wonderful work, everyone. I can't wait to see the cookies that spring up next week!

* 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.
