Hey, all! I hope everyone is hanging in there and staying healthy through these very difficult times. For this Spotlight, I'm going to once again highlight an underutilized, but richly informative area of the site: our videos! Since many of us are...
Ooh, this is an ultra exciting Spotlight , as (I think) we have five newcomers to our weekly hot list! Special congrats to...
As tough as the coronavirus has been, there have been some silver linings to being home with more than the usual time on my hands! One of the biggest pluses has been...
It's that time again - that wonderful moment when you can set aside COVID-worries, social media drama, and the too-often-crazy news of the day and simply focus on cookies - lots of beautiful cookies...
Hi, all. In an effort to keep you on your toes, I am once again changing up this week's Saturday Spotlight to focus on another less oft-visited area of the site. Last week, it was the blog, and, this week, it is the...
SURPRISE! I've decided to change things up in this Spotlight! While the photos on this site are always fab, they have a way of overshadowing our equally fabulous blog content. Raise your hand...
After seeing all of the amazing entries submitted for our Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge #39, I must say that our mission of turning Cookie Connection into "Food" Connection was a success! You managed to create some incredibly realistic looking "food" cookies, and I am...
Hi, I'm back after a weekend off from Spotlights. Thanks for your patience as I pushed through some other work deadlines last week. Shhh! I am developing a possible new...
Hi! I hope everyone is remaining safe and healthy, and that the required social distancing isn't driving you too stir-crazy. I had the first great day I've had since the quarantine began, and I think it was due, in large part, to...
Whoa, it's been a long while since I've done a traditional Saturday Spotlight! Though I must say, it feels good to be getting back into some semblance of routine here on Cookie Connection, seeing as the coronavirus has managed to upend order just about everywhere else...
Hey, all! Once again, apologies to all, particularly the 3-D winners of my cookie competition. This special edition of our Saturday Spotlight was supposed to post last weekend (or even earlier), but with my YouTube hijack on last Saturday and my general stay-at-home malaise, I've just had...
My apologies, it's now been more than few weeks since the results of my 2020 cookie art competition at That Takes the Cake Show were announced! But, promptly on the heels of that show came CookieCon and then...
Continuing in my tradition of years past, I am about to share, all in one place, ALL of the CookieCon 2020 Sugar Show winners! How fab is that?! First, a huge thanks to Karen and Mike Summers, CookieCon founders and organizers extraordinaire, for helping to make this post happen. Each year, like clockwork, while they're still reeling in the aftermath of the show, they...
Wow, what fickle people we cookiers are! A couple of days ago, even before Valentine's Day had passed, chicks and spring flowers were beginning to lure us away from hearts, Cupids, and other love-themed sets. Or maybe it was just the sudden cold snap that turned us on to warmer, springier motifs? (It was 6°F here yesterday! Yikes!)...
Hi, all! I'm fresh off a flight from Maine, where I was checking on my two-plus-year-long home renovation (yikes!), so I will keep this Spotlight very brief out of necessity for sleep...
