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...
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...
You know what’s all the rage right now? Stencils. And why is everyone talking about stencils? Cause they are so cool. Yes, so cool. Even if you don’t have an airbrush. (Insert cheers and clapping!) First of all – where did this...
I'm badly in need of a holiday by the sea - we'll be going soon. Every year about this time, we stay in Cornwall (UK) with my aunt. Some of the most beautiful coastline and beaches in the world are in Cornwall. And every year,...
A flower necklace: My attempt at an advanced tutorial. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Per members' recent requests for more advanced tutorials, I've asked all of our site contributors to push cookie boundaries for you! As you'll soon see, Kari's done a great job with this challenge - of course, I expected nothing less from this very talented lady! ] I can’t say that anyone said, “Hey, Yankee Girl! How would I make a flower necklace?!”, but I figured that since I was going to making...
Little bees everywhere! Pipe them onto almost any cookie, and people will exclaim over them! (Probably to ask why you've piped a bee on top of Olaf's face, but still . . .) In my last tutorial (Part 1), I showed you how to...
People ask me all the time about the lettering and painting on my cookies. I use a combination of royal icing effects and colors, and handpainted details. One of the most important things to me when I'm painting my cookies is my palette. I like...
It's funny how there often seems to be a space for a little honeybee or two on my cookies, and on occasion I've made a honeycomb for them to sit on. In this two-part tutorial, I'm going to show you how to create a honeycomb cookie...
Hey, all. Based on the recent feedback on our first birthday giveaway post, we're making some changes, including classifying project tutorials (tutorials designed to make a certain cookie) by level. You can read all about the other changes here...
I made these thank you cookies for the "Giving the Gift of Thank You" project with Anita from Sweet Hope Cookies - a wonderful cause of which I was so proud to be a part. If you’d like to read more about the project, which supports those living...
[EDITOR'S NOTE: So, I've been pouring over your input - here - about what you'd like to see on Cookie Connection in its second year. And I'm happy to report that "more tutorials" is the most popular request so far - by a long shot. "Happy?", you ask! Yes, "happy", because, you see, we're already taking steps to bring you exactly what you want! Just call us clairvoyant, if you please! In addition to our monthly and bimonthly tutorials written by...
This edition of "How Would You Cookie This?" is being brought to you by Dana (aka Dana’s Daydreaming Cookies on Cookie Connection )! Just a little background info for all of you who are new to my blog – this fun segment is...
Ok, it’s not really that dramatic. But it’s also not a fabulous, perfect tutorial with a happy ending either. Despite the fact that this is one technique that didn’t work out as well as I had hoped, I do want to share what I learned...
Easter may be a bit later than usual this year, but that's given me plenty of time to come up with a new design to share with you. I'm particularly fond of these little fellows. They're such solemn owls, with an important job of caring for those eggs,...
