Piece of Cake!

I was asked by my friend to come up with a cookie favor to honor her coworker, Kim, who is getting married next month. When I asked my friend if she had a theme in mind, she told me she wanted me to make a cookie to look like the bride-to-be's upcoming wedding cake. She said it was to be a three-tiered white cake with a burnt-orange ribbon and chocolate filigree all over.

From what I understood, I did a pretty good job in the replication department. It was a fun cookie to do, and it certainly made me start thinking about fall with those rich dark colors. it ALSO got me thinking that this is a scenario where I can ALMOST say that someones wedding cake was made to look like my cookies.... but I know that might be pushing it. still.... when you think about it... the cookie came first.....

I had one extra cookie left over so instead of the filigree, I made up my own designed 'cake' with polka dots and flowers. you know.. just for fun. I guess I'm just a fan of polka dots?


So here's to Kim and Joe! good luck with the upcoming nuptials and may you have a lifetime of happiness together! I hope your bakery does a good job replicating my cookies, too. (KIDDING!) Thanks also to Michelle for asking me to help with the shower.... it was fun to get to do something for you!
