Creativity, connection, and a whole lot of holiday magic… the Cookie Exchange brought 300 home bakers together in Cleveland for an incredible evening. Check out this video to capture the community, the craftsmanship, and the joy of this year’s event, presented by Taste of Home and Kelsey Elizabeth Cakes. #CommunityEvents

With hundreds of home bakers coming together for this year’s Taste of Home + Kelsey Elizabeth Cakes Cookie Exchange, we’ve been diving into all the trends showing up in this year’s lineup. From brown butter everything to latte-inspired flavors, heirloom classics, and even savory-sweet surprises like maple bacon and gochujang caramel, the creativity knows no bounds! We even saw creative spins on chocolate chip cookies! It got us thinking… how many different chocolate chip cookie recipes do you think we will see at our 300-person cookie exchange? 🍪 🟦 0–10 🟦 11–25 🟦 26–50 🟦 51+ We’ll share what actually showed up at the event! And don’t forget the milk! 🥛

We’re just days away from one of our favorite holiday traditions: The Cookie Exchange, presented by Taste of Home and Kelsey Elizabeth Cakes. On December third, three hundred home bakers will gather at the historic Arcade in Cleveland for an evening of cookie swapping, community, and festive creativity.

We’re looking forward to an unforgettable evening of inspiration, beautiful bakes, and shared holiday spirit! #CommunityEvents

The holidays don’t begin with a date on the calendar. They begin with a sound of a cork popping, a laugh echoing through the kitchen, the soft shuffle of slippers on the floor while something warm bakes in the oven. And because every baker deserves a little magic of their own, we've teamed with Korbel to give one lucky cookie-lover the ultimate holiday gift: A brand-new mixer, courtesy of Korbel and Taste of Home. Because holiday magic isn’t just made, it’s shared. To enter, please find the details here: https://lnkd.in/gfHhphf8
