I’ve worked hard over the last year to build my new tutorial library, and I’m loving how it’s beginning to take shape. This month’s sale is designed to give you a very sweet taste of it, and to leave you loving it too
What’s nicer than a little love to kick off the New Year? Not much, IMO, which is why I’m spreading those vibes with my first stencil sale of 2024. Hugs, kisses, and stencils to you
Or how about festive noisemakers or sparkly confetti? Personally, I like to celebrate the New Year with something else – and I think you’ll like it too
Given the all-consuming nature of holiday preparations, it can sometimes be tough to slide into the new year without incident. To make this transition as seamless as possible for you, I’m greasing the skids with extra sweetness
Let it snow (globe)! If my recently released 2-D snow globe kit wasn’t enough holiday excitement for you, check out this stepped-up 3-D variation (and video tutorial) that uses many of the same tools
The end of November is always the time for amazing pre-Christmas sales, but my product partner Confection Couture Stencils and I have compiled an assortment of sales that is truly off the sensational scale this year. Between now and November 27, I count five of them
“Dimension” and “texture” are two of the biggest buzzwords in cookie decorating these days, and Cookie Connection’s latest cookie decorating challenge will help you turn mere buzzwords into delicious reality

When the tools for this fun Halloween project were released a few weeks ago, many of you asked for a how-to video. I took your cues seriously and quickly set to work to make sure you had this tutorial in time for Halloween
With my favorite cookie holiday now under a month away, you won’t want to miss my last Halloween stencil sale of 2023. It’s guaranteed to kickstart plenty of spook-tacular cookie designs
I don’t know what it is about the suddenly crisp, cool air or tree leaves beginning to drift away from their branches, but they put me in an undeniably good mood – and I’d like to share it with you
HALLOWEEN TOMBSTONE KIT! One of my favorite cookie holidays is back, and I’ve got just the new kit to welcome it. With all the tools to make spine-tingling 2-D and 3-D tombstone cookies, and even an edible graveyard scene, my latest Kitchen Club release is to die for
