Hi, everyone! As Bakerloo Station mentioned in today's Practice Bakes Perfect challenge recap, we unfortunately had to delete an entry from the challenge due to lack of compliance with our "no copying copyrighted work without permission rule" (which mirrors US copyright law)...
I have wanted to do a collaboration challenge for a long time. As a musician, and trial lawyer, and now cookier, I truly believe that collaboration brings out the best of each of our individual talents...
Ta da! I’m back – with another Cookier Close-up! This time, it’s with Noriko Forster, who goes by two cookie names on the internet - mintlemonade and Cookie Crumbs!
Okay, so hopefully this departure from my normal Saturday Spotlight will be a fun excursion for everyone, including the cookiers featured here! Seeing as the 2016 Cake Masters Cookie Award finalists (pictured below) were just announced this week...
Well, well . . . Cake Masters Magazine sure did a good job of keeping us all on pins and needles, right? They've been announcing the finalists in their 2016 awards program categories since Monday or Tuesday, and they STILL have a few categories to announce...
For some reason, no one ever wants to eat beautifully decorated cookies! Usually I hear, "they're too pretty to eat", and so I find myself giving advice about how to store and display them for optimal longevity...
Here in Spain, vacations are over. And though unbearably hot weather still persists (imagine 42°C in the shade!), kids must go back to school...
It's been markedly quieter in my neighborhood this week . . . no kids buzzing about on their bikes, no ice cream trucks tempting me with their catchy jingles, no moms puttering about their yards...
Woo hoo! I am thrilled to announce that we have two more recipients of our Milestone Award this month: Liesbet Schietecatte and Tina DeLuca Tsourtsoulas. As a reminder, our Milestone Award is given to those contributors who have served the site for a year or more...
Phew! I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to spotlight the crazy-fabulous cookies that topped the hot list* this week. You see, I finally upgraded to a new computer last week, and transitioning from PC to Mac has been a lot harder than I thought...
Hi, everyone! If it seems like I've been in hiding lately, that's partially true! I've been in the throes of final design testing on my new cookie stencil line and the premiere of my first stencil series, which I am affectionately calling (for now, anyway), the Prettier Plaque series!
It's that time of year when many of us cling to the last lazy days of our summer routine while simultaneously longing for the thrill of change signaled by the coming of fall. I'm no exception...
It’s been a true pleasure to have members’ cookie art gracing the site this year – not only is it a beautiful addition, but it also gives me the perfect excuse to get behind the cookies themselves...
The cookie world never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think it's not possible to find more cookie friends, I find them - and in the farmost corners of the worlds (at least from St. Louis, that is)...
I love these last lazy days of summer, when we savor every bit of sunlight, wistfully listen to the crickets, and spend as much unconstructed time with family and friends as we can squeeze in...
