Note:  The winner of our last giveaway has been announced and winner has been contacted.  See if it’s you!

One of our favorite things is when our blogger friends write cookbooks. We know how much work goes into them (and how rewarding it is to hold all that hard work in print!), so  we love helping them celebrate.

If you’re not familiar with Bridget from Bake at 350, you need to become familiar with her ASAP. She is the queen of cookie decorating and adorable desserts (she even once made cookies for Jim Parsons’ 40th birthday. You know, Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory–no biggie.)

Bridget’s second book, Decorating Cookies Party, was recently released and we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it!

It’s gorgeous. And she walks you through the whole process, from the master cookie and icing recipes (one of them is even gluten free!) to all sorts of ridiculously adorable cookies, like this one:

We’re so excited to be giving away a copy of Bridget’s book! Here are the rules:

* Enter now through next Thursday, October 23. The winner will be announced on Friday, October 24. 

*United States residents only, 18 years or older (so sorry–it’s the law!)

*Please use an email address you frequently check because that is how we will contact the winner. After contacting the winner, they will have 48 hours to respond; if we don’t hear back within 48 hours, we’ll select another winner.

Y’all ready?? Go! 🙂

  70. Those cookies are the cutest! Last Christmas I tried your fancy icing on sugar cookies and I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make cookies look really good (after years of seriously failing with buttercream). I’d love to try this book out and see what I can do!

  72. My favorite thing to celebrate is probably my kid’s birthdays! They are getting older but I still love to have a day that’s all about them!

    Reply

  74. My favorite celebratory “thing” is definitely Halloween. You get to dress up as whatever you want and it’s socially accepted. We need more days like that, lol 🙂

    Reply

  140. I love to celebrate all the holidays! I go all out and decorate the house, make holiday foods, etc. My very favorite holidays are Valentine’s Day and Halloween.

    Reply

  141. We love Halloween and it’s one of a few times during the year we’ll make sugar cookies…but Bridget’s book might inspire more baking. Thanks!

  145. I love Big Bang Theory AND sheldon!! SUPER hard to believe he’s 40… but I don’t believe I’m 30 either… I’ve never tried cookies, but they always LOOK so pretty 🙂

  150. I love baking cookies with my beautiful girls. But I love eating them even more, the cookies, easting the cookies, not my kids. lol

    Reply

  155. I have always been so intimidated by pretty cookies, but it is on my list of things I want to accomplish soon. I am much better at the style of decorating that comes with being a mom to small kids… hurry and try to slap on some frosting and sprinkles before someone ruins it! Celebrating holidays would be so fun with this skill!

  156. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorites since the extended families get together. Thanks for the opportunity to win items on your blog.

    Melts my heart every time:)

  176. My favorite thing is baking. I don’t necessarily need to eat it, I just like trying to make new things. I used to be really bad about reading and following directions, but I’ve gotten much better at it!

    Reply

  180. I love birthdays because it is the one day that is solely your own. Other holidays are awesome but they are shared. Its fun on birthdays that you are the star of the show.

    Reply

  187. I’ve done a lot of baking; however, I have not mastered the sugar cookie decorating. This looks like a fantastic book — beautiful works of love!!

    Reply

    Reply

  204. So fun! I just made your sugar cookies and LOVE THEM but my frosting, while it tasted good, didn’t look anything like hers. I’d love to learn how to frost a beautiful sugar cookie.

    Reply

  207. I was born on Thanksgiving, so I love celebrating it! All that yummy food, plus presents- it’s like Christmas just for me! Obviously my birthday doesn’t always fall on Thanksgiving, but Black Friday always falls the day after…more reasons to celebrate! Now if they would just keep the shopping on Friday instead of impeding on my Thanksgiving dinner…

    Reply

  212. I enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving. The focus is on family/friends/food and not on shopping. It’s a great time to catch up with others.
