This week, we hear from last year’s first-place winner in the 3-D cookie category and one of this year’s judges, Laura Saporiti! Here, Laura shares with you lessons learned from her many years of competing – specifically what she most values about competitions and why she thinks you will value the experience too! We hope you’ll take the leap to expand your skills, have some fun, and possibly take home some of the $14,000 in prizes! Entries for Julia M. Usher’s Cookie Art Competition™ are due on October 15 (5 pm CDT), so there’s still loads of time to create! For competition rules and regs, see the links below the video.
