You've heard the mantra before. It echoes the thought that a structure's location is the most important factor in its value, both now and in the future. And while there is absolute truth to this thought, along my journey I realized...
Well, hello there! I was BLOWN AWAY by how many of you were up to the test and participated in Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge #9! Who knew there were so many different ways of piping lettering on cookies? Apparently, you all did, because the...
This Close-up is special not only because it's with the super fabulous cookier-now-author Lisa Snyder of The Bearfoot Baker, but also because it marks the start of our CookieCon 2015 interview series. Over the next several weeks in the...

Usually I'm behind the eight ball as far as planning for the next cookie holiday. I mean, just this past Easter, I posted my 3-D decoupaged egg cookies ON Easter! I'm not sure what's gotten into me lately, but I'm almost caught up with my...
