We're going to have a COOKIE PARTY!!!
Today is the official release date of my new book:
Decorating Cookies Party: 10 Celebratory Themes * 50 Designs
I'm a little giddy and a lot excited for you to see the book.
We're going to celebrate with a giveaway, too. Take a gander:
What's inside the book? I'm so happy you asked:
- Want to throw a cookie decorating party? I'll walk you through hosting one.
- Cookie exchange hints? I've gotcha covered.
- Step-by-step instructions for cookie designs to bring to a variety of parties and special occasions? Yep. 50 of them. You know I love a step-by-step tutorial.
- Need cut-out cookie recipes? Well, I have 5 for you...including gluten-free.
- Nervous about royal icing and fondant? Don't be! I'll make it simple for you.
- Want some party theme ideas? How about a garden party, birthday, book club, bridal shower? You'll find 10 party themes featured in the book to make and take or to make as part of the festivities!
Here's a peek at the Birthday Party Themed cookies:
How about these little jellyfish?!? This is from the Under the Sea party. This party theme showcases simple designs that are perfect for decorating with kids.
And, this sweet little poppy cookie is from the Garden Party set. I'm officially obsessed with stamping on cookies.
This book includes some of my favorite cookie designs EVER. Ever.
There are also recipes. Mocha Cut-Out Cookies. Oh MY word.
You'll even find a recipe for gluten-free cut-outs inside!!! (Don't worry, if you don't need gluten-free, I tell you how to gluten them up. I think that should be a new phrase, to "gluten something up.")
So, my dears, let's talk about this giveaway. Here are the prizes that you can win (one winner for each prize):
- a KitchenAid 5-Quart Artisan Series Stand Mixer with Pouring Shield in Majestic Yellow!
- a polka-dot, organza, ruffled Heavenly Hostess Cocktail Apron (you'll see me sporting one in the book...you need one, too)
- a $25 Fancy Flours gift certificate (guess what...they're carrying the book in their shop!)
- one of 3 SIGNED copies of Decorating Cookies Party!

The last party I attended was my own birthday party, which of course was amazing because I had a brown sugar swirl cake with brown sugar buttercream (it's like crack I tell you). I also put on my bossy birthday pants and made people do all the things I wanted to: go on a rickety, dangerous roller coaster, play mini golf, eat ice cream, shop for unicorn-themed outfits, and get pizza. Basically, my birthday hasn't changed since age 6. Well, the cake was different this year.
