Well, I thought spring had sprung here in St. Louis . . . As recently as yesterday, the thermometer was hovering around 70 degrees, and the daffodils and magnolias, so weighty with blooms, were straining their branches and stems...
First, my apologies for the delayed Spotlight this week. I wish I could say that all of the prematurely blooming flowers here in St. Louis (daffodils, magnolias, and red buds already!) gave me a bout of spring fever...

Happy December! The holidays are finally upon us, and pretty soon we will never want to see piping bags filled with red and green icing for as long as we live...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here on Cookie Connection! While most people ramp up for the Christmas season after Thanksgiving, we cookiers have to start planning our cookie sets well in advance of the holiday rush...

Since 2012, I've had the pleasure of participating, in one way or the other, in the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show (OSSAS), founded by cake artist extraordinaire Kerry Vincent...
Ahh, it's easy to be led astray, to thinking we're just a photo-sharing site. I mean, those galleries on the home page, with all those gorgeous cookies, are hard not to notice, right?! ...
