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.

This 3 inch cake base sits on a pillar candle stick.

Mermaids and Starfish

This is the adorable invitation that inspired this set of mermaid birthday cookies for a sweet little two year old named Lily.  How cute is she?  I used a reclining mermaid cookie cutter and adapted the design to fit the shape and I love how sweet she turned out.  Rosy cheeked and lying on a bed of pink starfish, she is too presh.  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Lily!

Nautical Wedding Favors

Grad Cookies

(Kinda) Free Cookie Cutters

So this cookie obsession has me always on line trolling for new cookie cutters to add to my ever growing collection, constantly watching my wish list increase, and rationalizing why someday I will totally need a viking helmet cutter.  And fortunately, unless they're some artisanal copper number, they're super affordable. 

But you know what's even more affordable? Raiding your three year old's toy chest and stealing all of her Play-Doh shape cutters to add to your own collection.  Diabolic?  Maybe. Ingeniously frugal? Absolutely! Check out these pint size cuties.  Enjoy!
