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...
With temperatures consistently topping 90°F, not just back in St. Louis, but also on my cookie trip to Jakarta this week, I must say I am not much in the mood for turning on ovens or generating any unnecessary body heat...
My dear friend Raquel knows me very well. She knows I absolutely love cute little things - charming, but casual at the same time...
Welcome back! I hope your hands are well rested after making the trays and the flowers in Part One of this tutorial, and that you're now ready for the "baking".
Hello, and welcome to the recap of Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge #17 - Stenciled Scenes! I hope everyone is enjoying the summer holidays, and that these long summer days have been filled with friends, family, and, of course, cookies!
Now that I’m about to start my summer vacation, I have more time to do one of the things I love most: going for long walks with my pet Bruno...
I know, I know, it's so easy to get distracted by all of the gorgeous cookies gracing our home page galleries each day, and to forget that there's more to Cookie Connection than just photos...
This was my first attempt at making a birthday cake in cookie format. I must say, it was fun to make . . . and it was even more fun to watch my friend's surprised face when she got it!
Following on from my wisteria and butterfly post, I’m still in a flowery, summery mood (ignoring the rain outside). Unlike many of my tutorials, where I plan carefully in advance, sketching out ideas, or even drawing out designs in detail...
Come to think of it, we already know quite a bit about the subjects of this month’s Close-up, Laegwen (aka Leoni Eckart) and Ryoko ~Cookie Ave. (aka Ryoko Hayashi), thanks to the detailed bios they shared with us earlier this month...
Food coloring is arguably the second most important element in cookie decorating after the royal icing itself. The art of choosing colors and/or mixing the exact shade are the subjects of many blog posts...
I like tiny and sweet things, which obviously means I was meant to like cookies. And I like them more so if they have even tinier and sweeter things on top of them – stacked cuteness, so to say...
What a delight it was to return from vacation - nearly two weeks without a cookie in sight - to discover the many magnificent creations posted here on Cookie Connection in that short time!
