Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Easter Cookies

Julia M. Usher 4/3/219:30 PM

What's better than a solid chocolate Easter egg? Yes, you got that right - a cookie one! And, as luck would have it, you needn't hunt far or long to find plenty of them on our site! With Easter just hours away, I could think of nothing more apropos than honoring cookies in this springtime holiday theme. Two of our honorees are fan favorites from years past, resurfacing once again as people continue to view and like their posts. And, if my old memory serves me well, we've also got four newcomers to the Spotlight (@Bożena Aleksandrow, @Anita K.C., @La Vie en Cookies, and @Cookie’s Studio by Elena), so special congrats to them! clapping

Now, without further ado, here are the ten top-trending cookies on this week's Easter hot list* . . .

#1: Easter Eggs by heidijo [EDITOR'S NOTE: One of the fan favorites I mentioned, this set by @heidijo first posted in 2015 and has now amassed about 25,000 views. Way to go, heidijo!]

#2: Polka Dot Bunnies by Cookies on Cambridge

#3: Easter Eggs with Tulips and Daffodils by Bożena Aleksandrow [EDITOR'S NOTE: Double congrats to @Bożena Aleksandrow! Not only is she a first-time Spotlightee (I believe - it's hard to keep track over the years), she is also a two-time honoree this week. You'll see more of her lovely work below.]

#4: Easter Eggs by TammyHolmes [EDITOR'S NOTE: Double congrats are in order for @TAMMY HOLMES as well! You'll see her second honored cookie, in the same eye-catching colors, below; plus, I loved this color scheme so much that it earned Tammy our coveted cover spot!]

#5: Easter Cookies by Anita K.C. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Woo hoo to @Anita K.C. for her first Spotlight appearance - not to mention her wonderful marbling technique and color choices! Here's to seeing more of Anita's work in future Spotlights!]

#6: Floral Easter Eggs by Bożena Aleksandrow [EDITOR'S NOTE: Here's Bożena's second featured set - as egg-cellent as the first!]

#7: Watercolor Bunnies by TammyHolmes [EDITOR'S NOTE: And Tammy's second set - as vibrant as the first!]

#8: Chicks for Easter by La Vie en Cookies [EDITOR'S NOTE: So very cute! Need I say more?]

#9: Conejitos by Cookie’s Studio by Elena [EDITOR'S NOTE: Congrats to
Elena for her first-time Spotlight and these absolutely darling Easter bunny-eggs!]

And, last but certainly not least, a set by the master of fondant work, some very regal all-fondant Easter eggs . . .

#10: Easter at the Forest by Lorena Rodríguez

So egg-ceptional, am I not right? Ears hoping you have a very Hoppy Easter! (Sorry, as you probably know by now, I'm a sucker for bad puns.) Anyway, to those who celebrate, have a great holiday tomorrow, and, to all, have a wonderful rest of the weekend. I'll see you at this same place and time 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.
