Hello! Thanks for waiting patiently for the Week 3 finalist reveal. I was tied up with other work (not a good thing) and house guests (a very good thing) this weekend, so couldn't steal away to write this blog post 'til now. But I think you'll find it...
Hello! It's time once again to reveal this week's finalists in our Christmas Countdown Challenge. Reminder: This is no inconsequential contest - $700 in prizes are at stake! Thank you again to our sponsors Designer Stencils, Fancy Flours,...
Happy weekend, everyone! As promised, the next few week's worth of Saturday Spotlights will be dedicated to showcasing the finalists in our Christmas Countdown Challenge. Aside: If you didn't know, $700 in prizes are up for grabs! (Big round of...
Hello, everyone! As you may have noticed, this week's Saturday Spotlight is appearing a touch ahead of schedule, because like many Americans, I'm jumping on a plane tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family! (Can't wait!) So . . . it is in the...
In our ongoing celebration of gingerbread this month, we turn from the fabulous 3-D creations of last week's Spotlight to honor 2-D gingerbread treats. Though certainly shorter and flatter than last week's honorees, this week's hot list* continues to...
In honor of Gingerbread Month here on Cookie Connection, this week's Saturday Spotlight features nothing other than . . . gingerbread, naturally! More specifically though, I've cast the spotlight on 3-D projects, as opposed to classic...
OK, gang, with Halloween now behind us, it's time to ditch the witches, ghouls, and sugar skulls (my, were those skulls ever popular this year!) and make way for more Thanksgiving-y things. Think leaves, acorns, turkeys, drumsticks, green bean...
So sorry for the delay in posting this week's featured cookies*, but as you may or may not know, last week I was visiting Naples (Florida and Italy), where I enjoyed attractions as incongruous as alligators in the Everglades and flour mills in ancient...
It's that ambiguous time of year when half the leaves are on the trees and half are off . . , when sometimes a jacket isn't enough and other times I can't shed my jacket fast enough . . . when the Halloween candy hasn't been gobbled yet, but in the...
Given the wealth of phenomenal cookies posted to Cookie Connection each week, it's pretty darn easy to get lulled into site-centric thinking. All of the world's greatest cookies are here, right?! Granted, many fabulous...
Just two or three weeks ago, I was worried that I might have sprung fall cookies on you too soon. But now I'm wondering if I didn't start early enough! Given the abundant crop of autumn-inspired cookies posted to Cookie Connection in recent weeks, I...
Again, my apologies for the delay in this week's Saturday Spotlight. A zany cookie-filled weekend prevented me from getting to my computer at the usual posting time. (If I remember correctly, fellow Cookie Connection members Charlene Smith and Penny...
First, my apologies if I'm advancing the seasons too rapidly for you! But EEK! I spotted my first pumpkin cookie of the year about two weeks ago, so I'm afraid that Halloween cookies might already be past due! Without further delay, let me...
Happy Saturday! It's that special time again when we celebrate the week's finest decorated cookies. And, boy, are they ever fine! In an effort to disrupt another cookie rut (this time, it's the thousands of dots I'm laying on cookie jewelry boxes...
Hello, cookiers! What's on your docket this Labor Day weekend? Are you hanging up the pastry bags to dry or are you settling in for some soothing, uninterrupted cookie decorating time? Unfortunately, you won't catch me chillaxing at any...
