Hi! I am cookie beginner from Vienna/Austria/Europe and would love to have a calendar with all the talented cookie artist coming to Europe in 2014. I have totally lost track. There's "CookieCon" in Italy, Julia in Barcelona and Portugal, Amber (Sweet Ambs) in Barcelona and Italy, Marielle (De Koekenbakers) in the Netherlands. Please create a calendar where all the lovely artists are holding their classes in 2014. Maybe with a direct link for booking. :-) Thanks so much, Isabella

Hi, we already have that calendar on site. You can access it by looking in the left hand column of the home page (Upcoming Events column, where events are ordered from closest to furthest away), or in the calendar section at the top of the site (where you have to skip through the months to find the events). The home page is probably the easiest place to look for events in the next 4 to 5 months, since the calendar also includes members' birthdays. (Note: any event without a gift box icon is a cookie decorating event and not a birthday).
The calendar purposely includes events worldwide, so that people everywhere can find what's happening closest to them.
I can't guarantee that every event is there (just the ones that people have posted themselves or I'm aware of), but I welcome people posting others that they know of that aren't there. (Current site resources do not allow me or site contributors to proactively keep tabs on all of the possible events.)
If you want to add an event, my only requests are that:
(1) you check the calendar first to make sure the event is not already posted so that we don't end up with duplicates that I then have to remove, and
(2) you include a link to the registration info in the post so people know where to sign up.
That said, I do know that Cookie'sCool (CookieCon in Italy); all of my events (Atlanta, Barcelona, Portugal, Netherlands and Italy on two occasions; Chile and Spain again, possibly forthcoming); and Butterwinks' Spain tour are already posted. Amber's trip to Spain and Arty McGoo's to Italy, both late last year, were also posted, but neither person has submitted new event info to me.
Again, I encourage anyone reading this post to either post the other events they're aware of or send me links to these people's class info so I can post. Thanks.
P.S. I just added Amber's classes in Barcelona on May 15-18; I saw no additional classes for her listed on her site in Italy. Likewise, I saw no classes on DeKoekenbakker's site other than the workshops that she sets up on a private basis (not pre-scheduled or publicly advertised). She is, however, appearing at Cookie'sCool in Italy (May 1-3), as already indicated here on this site: http://cookieconnection.juliau...-conference-and-show
