Decorating Cookies: 60+ Designs for Holidays, Celebrations & Everyday
Well guys, today is the day. The official release date for Decorating Cookies. I know Amazon and Barnes & Noble shipped a bit early, so some of you have it already. YAY!!!This book is for you. You, who have never decorated a cookie. You, who have attempted and want to try again. You, who love decorating cookies and are looking for some new ideas.
This book is FOR you and because of you. All of you...whether you've been reading Bake at 350 for 5 years (ok, that would just be me), or 5 seconds. YOU.
Here's a little peek of the inside: (PS...my pictures do not do the book pics justice.)
EVERY project has a step-by-step photo tutorial. Most of the cookie designs are new, but there are a handful of favorites that we just had to include...most with a new twist.
Shouts-out (shout-outs?) to Amy, Melissa, and Kate for letting me use some of their fabulous artwork for a couple of projects...and to Amanda of Everyday Elements for making yours truly presentable in the author pics.
Wanna see a little behind-the-scenes from our 6-day photoshoot for the step-by-step cookies?
Are you still here? Oh, good. Guess what...I have something for you to celebrate!
- 1 lucky person will win a KitchenAid 5-quart, tilt-head, stand mixer in Aqua Sky (US only)
- 5 people will win signed & personalized copies of Decorating Cookies (anywhere)
- enter through 11:59pm CST, October 9, 2012
To enter for a signed book, leave a SEPARATE comment telling me where you live (city, state, country...whatever).
Curious about where to buy the book? Check with your local bookstore or order here:
I really, truly hope you love the book as much as I loved eating the cookies that are in it.
