Cookie Connection Challenge #54

Since 2013, Julia has owned and operated Cookie Connection, the world’s largest online cookie decorating community with curated educational content, including tutorials, articles, forums, and other resources. Its mission is to be the “place to learn, share, and celebrate the art of cookie decorating” anywhere in the world. And, indeed, with nearly 17,000 members from all corners of the globe, the site is fulfilling its dreams each day. One of the ways the site helps its members improve their skills is through its ever-popular decorating challenges. Originally called Practice Bakes Perfect, and now simply called Cookie Connection Challenges, these tests of skill run bimonthly and are a low-risk way to try new techniques and designs, all in the comfort of your home and with no competition. (The only person you might be competing with is yourself!) Though prizes are given out each time, they are awarded completely at random. And even though ten entrants are featured at the end in a recap blog post, it’s primarily because those entrants learned something along the way that everyone ought to hear about. So, long story short, don’t hesitate to dive in – you’re sure to learn something in every Cookie Connection Challenge. Plus, they’re free, so there is only upside.

Organized by host Manu Pezzopane, this 54th Cookie Connection challenge featured Anna Oliinyk of Sunday Cookers. Anna is an award-winning cookie artist who earned first place and Best in Show in Julia’s 2022 and 2023 cookie art competitions. In this challenge, she taught how to make lifelike flower cookies by piping them in various stages of bloom, as well as how to arrange them in splendid bouquets like the one shown here.

The challenge opened on May 26, 2023, and closed on July 23, 2023, giving everyone plenty of time to create for the chance to win two awesome (randomly drawn) prizes. One prize was free access to Anna’s “Flowers of Ukraine” prerecorded tutorial, and another was a box of Wilton decorating supplies (valued at over $200) donated by Julia. Entrants’ creativity blossomed in this challenge, as you can clearly see in the challenge recap on Cookie Connection.

Though this challenge is over, please remember: the learning is not! To view Anna’s video lesson, which will remain on Cookie Connection for posterity, click on the “LEARN MORE” button, and you’ll be taken to the Challenge #54 kickoff post on Cookie Connection where it’s an easy scroll down to find the video.
