Overview: Julia is thrilled to return to Spring Cookie-A-Thon in 2025, though solely as a sponsor this time. For those not in the know, Cookie-A-Thon is the world’s largest online cookie decorating event, spanning four days (March 5 through 8) and including over 40 video tutorials. Access to the live event is free, but if you purchase an All-Access Pass (AAP), you get loads of additional perks and prizes, including lifetime-access to the tutorial recordings. BTW, Julia’s sponsor perks – only available to AAP-holders – include 20% off all of her online tutorials (and 2025 cookie calendar) on this site and an additional $100-off giveaway on the same items.

In her live 15-minute sponsor “commercial” on March 7, Julia will guide you through her paid offerings (tutorials, classes, and product lines) designed to hone your cookie decorating skills, but her focus will be on explaining the free resources that she generously makes available to the cookie community. These resources include Cookie Connection, her community-based cookie decorating site, and her annual cookie art competition, which kicked off with a theme and schedule preview on January 31.

Skill Level: Everyone who wants to level up their cookie decorating skills!

Prerequisites: Absolutely none

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to hone your decorating skills with Julia’s vast array of cookie decorating resources, both free and for purchase

Schedule and Other Notes: Julia’s commercial and chat with Cookie-A-Thon founder Nancy Westfall airs on March 7, 3:00-3:30 pm CT. However, the event boasts over 40 tutorials by other cookie artists that are not to be missed. As noted above, the live four-day event is free; however, the purchase of an All-Access Pass brings you a number of other perks. A kit including many of the cutters and stencils used in the tutorials is also available, and comes bundled with an All-Access Pass. Also bear in mind that pass pricing increases after March 5 to $167 on March 6, and to $297 after the live event, so it’s best to act soon if you want to get the best possible pass price.
