Wedding Cookies

The Cookies That Tried to Kill Me

Ever take on a project and think WHY?  Why did I agree to this?  Well this is that project.  And only because it took so freaking long.  This was an order for wedding favors - Ten dozen of them.  I thought it would take three days max.  WRONG!   Five days later and they were finally finished - right down to the wire!  No matter the late nights and impending carpal tunnel, I love these wedding cookies because they're personalized from  the dress, hairstyle and bouquet down to the groom's  boutonniere and tie color and are such a great little personal memento from happy couple's big day.  Enjoy!

Edible Cake Toppers

So in love. With an edible wedding cake topper. This is the cherry on top of the Sangria and Spanish Lace wedding Oh, Sugar! Events just wrapped up.  We did FIVE cakes for the happy couple, including a three tiered traditional wedding cake, and it hit me - they don't have a wedding topper.  I know some brides might think they're old fashioned or even cheesy, but I love them (especially the vintage ones).  My mother has a nice collection of them, so I originally toyed with the idea of using one of them on the dessert table but knowing not everyone is as big a fan of them as I am, I kept thinking...  and then it came to me.  Do it as a cookie.  And put it on top of an edible base.  Some times I am a genius!  (And did I mention humble?)

So I emailed back and forth with one of the bridesmaids to get the lowdown on the bride and groom's attire/hair/flowers and this is what we came up with.
