Cinnamon & Sugar Hearts

Wedding favors are so much fun to do. I like to work with a bride who has new and interesting ideas. This bride wanted cut out cookies, but she did not want them decorated with Royal Icing. 

K and her Fiancee both LOVE cookies. They especially love Snickerdoodle cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies. She wanted to incorporate one of those cookie flavors into a cut out cookie that they could fit inside a miniature cookie jar that they would offer to their guests as a Thank You.

I, of course, was happy to oblige. 

After some thought, we both decided that a medium sized (2.5 in) heart shaped cookie would be perfect. The vanilla sugar cookie was sprinkled with some cinnamon/sugar mixture before baking. 

We both agreed that the texture was perfect on the cookie. 

I think she was very happy. 

I wish K and her now husband a lifetime of happiness!!!!!

Wedding Dress Cookies

My cousin is getting married and planning for her 'Big Day'. 

As the Bridal Shower quickly approached, I wanted to offer her a gift that was not only personal, but useful and not something that she would ignore or throw away.

I also wanted to give her a gift that she would always remember and not say, "Who gave this to us???" Ha Ha. 

I think I have a silent, inner desire to stand out in a crowd without intentionally 

standing out...

I made her these beautiful 4 in wedding dress cookies that she would be able to offer her guests as Shower favors. The theme of the shower was 'It's all about the Wedding Dress', so the wedding dress cookie cutter was perfect!!!!

I like simple designs and something that is not overly designed. I looked online for inspiration and came across a tutorial that a favorite cookie decorator (Sweet Adventures of SugarBelle) posted the week before. She showed how one could pipe on a simple flower on any designs and I thought it was perfect.

  I love the way they came out and she has already told me what a wonderful and thoughtful gift they were...

I can't wait for her wedding and wish her Centuries... yes Centuries, of happiness and love!!
