Today, I’m launching the first in my two-part series of interviews with our 2017 Cookiers’ Choice Awards winners, and we’re kicking off with the amazingly generous and ingenious Cookiers of the Year, Ginny and Doug Levack of Creative Cookier...
I just love doing these Cookier Close-ups – they give me such a wonderful excuse to pry into people’s lives and ask them all sorts of curious questions. Seriously though, I work in a near-vacuum sequestered in my basement kitchen, decorating day in and day out, with nary a visitor...
I don’t know about you, but I’ve enjoyed coming to this site more than ever this month. There’s something about the color palette of the banner and backdrop that just sings “snowy winter”, and the sleeping fawn is beyond-words adorable...
From the emails I’ve gotten about Alison Friedli’s December site art, I know many of you have been waiting with bated breath for this Close-up, and I’m thrilled to say it’s finally here! Woo hoo...
From time to time, I like to provide Cookie Connection members with more thorough introductions to our site contributors – after all, they give so generously of their talents here, it’s the very least I can do! And – surprise – now is one of those times...
As many of you know, earlier this month we had a lovely live chat with the über-talented Tammy Trahan of New Orleans Cookie Company, where we learned about her graphic design and art background, the sources of inspiration for her very inspired cookie work, and...
This month, we’re fortunate to be chatting with Miki Shibasaki of Atelier Detour, our August site artist, whose charming beach-themed cookies are brightening up our site as we speak. We’ve already learned a bit about Miki in her recent forum introduction...
Hi, all! I’m back this month with another round of our CookieCon 2017 instructor interview series. Today, we’re joined by the talented Teri Lewis of tweets…cookie connection, who, back in March, wowed CookieCon-goers...
How could you miss the stunningly vibrant butterflies and flowers that beautified our site earlier this month?! Yeah, you couldn’t. Thanks to this month’s first* site artist, Sandra Garvey...
If you weren’t able to attend our wonderfully lively chat with this month’s interviewee, Amy Clough of Clough’D 9 Cookies, then you’re in luck because we’re going way beyond that chat here . . . with one exception, that is...
For a few weeks now, you’ve all been admiring our April site art (pictured in our banner and backdrop and directly below), so it’s high time we get to know the talented cookier behind it: @hikainmel (vert), aka Kaori Everitt-Hirota! In her quick intro in our forums earlier this month, we learned that Kaori originally harks from Osaka, Japan...
Great news! With this post, I’m launching the first in a series of in-depth Close-ups with CookieCon 2017 instructors! Over the next several months, in between Close-ups with our monthly site artists, of course, I’ll be interviewing all those teachers who haven’t been featured here before...
So, as you all probably know by now, Kim Damon, aka Mom Makes Cookies, is the artist behind the wonderfully vibrant hearts that are gracing our banner and backdrop as we speak...
Our November site artist Kari Arroyo, aka Yankee Girl Yummies, is no newcomer here! From January to December 2014, she contributed a wealth of wonderful tutorials to Cookie Connection, all under the title of Dear Yankee Girl.
I’ve been loving our October site art, haven’t you? The colors and textures are so perfectly evocative of fall...
