My book on the art of cookie decorating, "Cookie Sensations," was published after a decade of serving as Head Decorator for a custom-cookie store outside of Washington, DC. Our store was featured on NBC’s "Today Show" and in "Washingtonian Magazine." My cookies have appeared in "The Washington Post," "Modern Bride," "The New York Times," and "Chocolatier Magazine."
