Meet Julia M. Usher, my cookie guru and idol. She's the founder and host of
Cookie Connection and author of the award-winning Cookie Swap and Ultimate Cookies cookbooks. This celebrated pastry chef and food writer was once a nuclear reactor systems engineer for General Electric prior to beginning her career in food! Who would have thunk??!!!
I first stumbled upon Julie's cookies while scouring the net for cookie decorating tutorials. I found her on
Youtube and spent hours and hours learning and oogling at every single amazing detail of her 3D cookies.
Julia is about the most creative cookier I have ever met. I could go on and on about her jaw-dropping cookies but like they say, a picture paints a thousands words.
I'm sharing just these 10 photos from her
website.
Believe it or not - these are 100 percent cookie and icing!

ReplyDeleteUNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Talent doesn't quite describe it... she's amazing! If given one of those cookies, I would put it in a glass box and display it. I couldn't even think about eating it! I can't wait to see more of your creations inspired by her. :)
