Julia M. Usher

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!

  2. Holy cow!! I wonder how long she spends on each cookie? And how many she makes at a time.

    So sorry for the news this week in Malaysia. We are very sorry for the loss of life.

  7. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! 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. :)
