Tea Time Julia loves lots of sweets, not just decorated cookies. Take a look at her other creations. DIVINE DEPTH Julia’s latest love is creating realistic florals with contoured icing. More beautiful botanicals here. DAZZLING 3-D The pioneer of 3-D cookies, Julia routinely defies decorating norms. More dazzlers in the gallery. Previous slide Next slide "Julia’s book provides inspiring photos with suggestions for packaging and displaying the cookies, as well as ideas for invitations that you can make to host cookie swaps throughout the year. As for its food porn rating: 5 stars out of 5. Artistically styled photos throughout the book make it fun to look through for inspiration or just to fantasize about cookies." Food Network Canada On Julia’s book Cookie Swap "Julia Usher is the most talented and creative cookie decorator I know. Her techniques are flawless, as are her beautiful cookies, and this book is the ultimate reference for beginners as well as seasoned cookie decorators. Flip through these pages and you’ll soon find yourself in the kitchen, creating awe-inspiring edible works of art and decorating like a pro." Tish Boyle, Editor, Dessert Professional On Julia’s book Ultimate Cookies "This is an all-out gushing fan letter. I am new to Julia’s work, but every picture I’ve seen and every video I have watched has left me amazed and inspired. I am reminded of the grace and elegance with which food can be prepared and presented." Vicki B, fan and YouTube subscriber On Julia’s YouTube videos This time the clever cookie comes in the guise of Julia Usher. I see a lot of adequate decorating out there, but this work is inspirational. Cupcakes had better not rest on their laurels: I can easily be persuaded to put them aside when enticed by the decorative crumbs of Julia’s cookies. Beautiful book, beautiful work . . . I recommend to all edible artists.” Kerry Vincent, Food Network Judge, Hall of Fame Sugar Artist On Julia’s book Ultimate Cookies "I just received my stencils today. I can’t say enough good things about the quality of this product. Between Cookie Connection, helping when my husband had a question about a gift, and so much more, Julia’s inspiration is priceless." Kimberlie B, stencil customer On Julia’s stencil line "To say that Julia is an artist is like saying that DaVinci, Michelangelo, and Renoir were just painters!" Victoria K, fan and YouTube subscriber On Julia’s YouTube videos "Phenomenal information and concepts! Lots of time for Q&A that really made the difference for learning . . . If you love doing cookies and want to take it up another level, do this!" Anonymous, student On Julia’s cookie decorating classes "I thank Julia for all of the opportunities she has created for us on Cookie Connection . People from almost every country in the world meet there and indulge in the hobby of cookies together, all in peace and love with one another! Julia’s site is a little paradise for me." Gabi, Cookie Connection contributor On Cookie Connection membership FEATURED YOUTUBE VIDEO CLEMATIS COOKIE Julia continues her latest botanical series with these cookies inspired by the very beauties climbing her own garden arbor. (Or we should say arbors”; she grows many varieties of clematis!) This edible variety is made entirely of royal icing transfers, some contoured and others stenciled, like the delicate trellis in the background. After drying, each piece is individually airbrushed and then assembled together on the cookie to create this masterpiece. A labor of love, no doubt, but definitely a project anyone can do with Julia’s detailed step-by-step instructions. Watch Video GALLERY 3-D COOKIES ASPIRE EVENTS HELLO, AUSTRALIA!
