Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies of the Week

 

Heck, after four straight days of cookie decorating, cookie teaching, and cookie chat in my Ningbo classes (glimpse below), even I wasn't sure I ever wanted to see another cookie again. Especially one of my own designs! (After all, 16 identical geodesic dome cookies, each with 40 nearly identical diamond cookies on top, can be pretty tedious! )

But, you all never fail to reinvigorate my cookie passion with your ingenuity and flawless technique. After taking in this week's hot list*, I was, once again, spurred to sharpen my design pencil, open my sketch book, and conjure up some new cookies in order to stay fresh - and to fuel my next course! 

Thanks to all of this week's honorees for their contributions to our collective creativity!

Congratulations again, everyone, and have a great weekend!

* 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.

I can't even believe you found the time to post the Saturday Spotlight "Superwoman!" These are such gorgeous creations.  I've been in awe all week seeing these beauties.  Congratulations to all the talented artists!!

I've got to be honest, it was not easy getting this post up. The internet connection (without a working VPN) is painfully slow here. It took me about 3 to 4 hours to do this post; it usually takes 1 1/2 hrs. Looking forward to good internet, unblocked social media sites, and seeing my husband again soon!

But, most of all - and now I'm risking to be localist - I love Manu's set! It's so brilliant and flawless. Congrats again.

I am on the train to Milan, back from Rome, and the two people sitting in front of me are wondering why I am in tears (of joy) while reading on my cell phone... Thank you
