Disclosure & Private Policy
At SemiSweetDesigns.com, my goal is to share my designs, as well as helpful tips, tools and tutorials for those wanting to get their hands dirty with decorated cookies. I try my best to create quality content and I am encouraged to know many find the site helpful.
It’s amazing how much time and energy goes into this blog with all the baking, decorating, photo-taking, photo-editing, and post writing. As such, I feel it is permissible to be compensated. I accept advertising and participate in various affiliate programs which provide some income.
I truly promise to only promote products I personally use or can recommend without hesitation.
What is an affiliate link?
Sometimes I mention that a link is an affiliate link. This simply means sometimes I recommend a product or service and if you choose to purchase that product or service via my recommendation link, I will get a small referral commission. Of course, there is absolutely no extra cost to you, but it does help keep my decorating supplies stocked so I can keep bringing you great posts! I truly appreciate your support in this way. Thank you.

As part of this Amazon Associates program, the Website will post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to their website.
