So, as I alluded to in last week's post , we've got some fun stuff for you on Cookie Connection during this special National Cookie Month! Today, I present the first week of our National Cookie Month Film Festival, sort of a "Best of...
Now that October is in full swing, it’s time to get crazy with all those Halloween designs that you still have left to do! One way to come up with a truly unique cookie design is to create your own cookie shape. A shape that no one else has in...
So, it's that funny (not "ha"-funny, but odd-funny) time of year when it's not quite Halloween, but our minds are already jumping forward to the excitement (and preparation) of holiday season and all of the friends, family, and great food that it...
Yeah, for real! October is National Cookie Month, at least here in the US! So, what's this mean for Cookie Connection ? In short, lots of fun stuff! For starters, I've posted a splashy new site backdrop and banner, designed...
Pamoda Vanderwert of Sugar Pearls Cakes and Bakes certainly has my attention lately! She has posted many great clips here on Cookie Connection , from cookie collages to puzzle-like designs, but most recently it seems she’s got a mixed media...
It's that special Saturday time again - and boy, have I got a wide-ranging lineup of beauties for you! Of course, it's the season for pumpkins, so there are a few different (and quite original) takes on those. You'll see a fair bit of black and...
Hello, I’m back with the next interview in our ongoing Cookie’sCool instructor series – Francesca Belfiore of Dolcimaterieprime ! An architect who “likes to turn everything into sweets,” Francesca often works in mixed...
I had always intended to do a tutorial on my Halloween spiders for you all, but I just didn't fancy repeating the same cookies. So I set to thinking how I could change things a bit, and do something different. Well, for a start, I wanted to have a bit...
After I posted my Minnie cookie set, I got a lot of questions about how I made her. It happens to be a technique that is fairly easy and I use quite a bit. The technique - which to be honest with you, I’m having trouble thinking of a cool name...
Another great challenge!!! I'd like to thank Tammy Holmes for the idea for this month's challenge - cookies based on a single inspiration photo. I asked her to pick the photo, and she picked this picture of a gorgeous fancy lilac powder room ! I...
Yankee Girl Yummies here. I’m thrilled to say that I’m your guest host for this month’s challenge! Yes, it’s true. I promised Rebecca that I would put together an awesome challenge and everyone would "bring it" with their...
Is it too early for Halloween? Hmmm . . . judging from the quantity of eerie (but gorgeous) cookies hitting the site lately, I'd say no! Plus, by the time you design, bake, and ice, Halloween will be upon us in no time flat. So, sit back...
It's been a while (May, to be exact) since this itinerant cookie decorator hit the streets. But last week I satisfied my growing cookie wanderlust by trekking to São Paulo, Brazil and back for the 1º Encontro de Designers de...
We marvel over her delicate handpainting. We mutter oohs and ahhs at the sight of her intricate piping work. Heck, we stop dead in our tracks nearly every time she posts something to this site! Yes, I’m talking about Evelin Milanesi, aka...
The entire Hidden in the Garden cookie set by Fernwood Cookie had me mesmerized. Seriously. I studied these four cookies for a long time and instantly knew Kerri Roy, the woman behind the cookies, would be my next How DID You Do That? ...
