Thank you for posting the links. I hope our Cookie Connection friends will take a few seconds and vote!  I know all of us will appreciate the support!  I feel so lucky to have such great cookie friends around the world ,thanks, in great part to Cookie Connection 

I voted and encourage everyone else to do so. How wonderful to have the support of this site , Julia and all of us! 

I also wish you luck Julia for Artist of the Year USA! How awesome and so deserved. 

I voted !!!

I had the privilege of taking a class with Master Cookier, Marta Torres, on 2D royal icing technique. Not only is she a talented and gifted artist, she is a true teacher. Her passion transcends to her students. She has amazing patience and her vocation is truly that of an educator. She is able to transform the most mediocre of students (such as myself when I was only 4months new to cookie decorating) into artists. I am inspired by her work everyday. She sets the bar high for all others- her work is as beautiful as her soul… she is kind, she is creative, and she passes on her knowledge with such passion. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a student of this truly gifted Master Cookie Artist. Best of luck to Marta!

I´d like to thank you Julia for your words and for encouraging members to vote. Cookie Connection was, as I already mentioned to you, where I started. There is a Before and After Cookie Connection on my Cookie Journey. It was here where step by step I started to get confidence on my work and probably started to get a direction. 

I´m very happy indeed with this nomination and would like to Congratulate The Creative Cookier as well, and Wishing you All the best and Good Luck for Artist of the Year USA.

Thank you so much everyone!

I know - the other two people in my category are cake artists, and most of the judges are too! I could use the support of the cookie community!
