It was truly a joy to watch this latest Practice Bakes Perfect challenge unfold! While I wish more people had the time to participate, I think that those who did really embraced the collaborative spirit of this challenge...
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, there's no shortage of said cookies on the site, and, so, I'm featuring love-themed beauties for the second time in a month! Call me predictable if you'd like...
Wow, just as I thought we were hurtling full-throttle toward Valentine's Day, you guys threw me for a loop! The artists behind this week's ten top-trending cookies seem a little divided about whether...
Phew! Time never stands still in cookie decorating land! With the New Year now squarely behind us (for all of five days), you folks have moved full speed ahead into Valentine's Day...
Wow! We're almost to the end of another wonderful year on Cookie Connection. Imagine me cracking open a bottle of bubbly and giving you all a virtual toast, because that's exactly what I'm doing...
It's easy to forget the treasure trove of videos that get posted to this site, as our home page photo feeds are oh-so-captivating and often all-consuming. That being said, I decided to mix up this week's Spotlight by gifting you with...
I just returned from my first holiday party of the year, and, boy, did it ever put me in the Christmas spirit! (And solidly remind me that I need to get cracking on my decorating!)...

Once again, we're hop-skip-and-jumping from Halloween directly onto Christmas, judging from this week's hot list*. I still reserve hope that, one day in the not-too-distant future, cookies will supplant...
Since 2012, I've had the distinct pleasure of participating in the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show (OSSAS), founded by cake artist extraordinaire and TV personality Kerry Vincent. Whether demoing, judging, sponsoring, or just perusing the edible artwork there, I always walk away from the show feeling excited...
We're still three weeks away from trick-or-treaters descending on Webster Groves (my little Midwest suburb), and only a few of my neighbors' homes have taken on their usual spooky garb for Halloween, but you Cookie Connection cookiers are no slackers...
First off, please bear with me . . . I've had perhaps more champagne than I should have had before writing this post. But, hey, I'm entitled . . . it's my 22nd wedding anniversary after all...
As summer turns to fall (or winter to spring for those of you Down Under), you can definitely feel that change is in the air. Change was also all over Cookie Connection these past several weeks, in the form of...
