Saturday Spotlight - This Week's Hot List!

Wowza! What a wonderful collection of cookies topping our site this week! As is often the case, there's no consistent theme among them, other than that each one is gorgeous in its own right...

Seeing as the Fourth of July is just around the corner, it's only logical that we celebrate the top 10 patriotic cookies in this week's Spotlight. But don't be surprised if you see far more than stars and stripes and red, white, and blue on our hot list...

If you're still at a loss as to what to get Dad on this Fathers' Day, you're in luck! I've got another dose of top-trending cookie inspiration for you in this week's Spotlight...

I'm going to keep it snappy this week, as I'm in the throes of prepping for two cookie decorating classes and an upcoming video shoot - but, more importantly, because this week's hot list* truly speaks for itself...

It seems we've officially entered that in-between time of year, when spring is turning into summer in some parts of the world, and Mother's Day will soon come and go, leaving no big holiday looming imminently on the horizon...

After two weekends off from the Spotlight (thanks for your patience with my absence, BTW), I have little choice but to hop-skip-and-jump from the last holiday directly onto Mothers' Day! Once again, in what seemed like the blink of an eye...

Wow! The coming Easter holiday has certainly made you all even more prolific than you usually are! Given the wealth of bunnies and eggs still hitting the home page feeds (they started earlier than St. Patrick's Day), it's remarkable...

By the time you all read this, I will hopefully be lying on a beach, cerveza in hand, but at this moment, as I write this Spotlight, I can see and think of nothing but lace! As ever, I am extremely impressed...

Well, all reports from CookieCon 2017 say that it was the best CookieCon ever, and from the looks of the Sugar Show winners, I'd say those reports are right...
