Bridal Shower Cookies
This past weekend I made cookies for a bridal shower. I stuck with an all white cookie because I really wanted the designs to shine through rather than vibrant colors. In the future I will be playing around with colors on these. The white turned out great– they ended up putting a cookie at each person’s seat on a black napkin so the contrast was really nice. I wish I had gotten a picture of them on the tables but oh well. I had a lot of fun making these. I baked and did majority of the flooding in Wisconsin at my apartment and then finished the detailing in Illinois at my parents house, so my mom was able to watch me and help bag the cookies. I told her that I was designing my future wedding dresses and wedding cakes and she just rolled her eyes at me. I felt like a fashion designer and cake designer all at the same time!

Wow!!! What beautiful cookies!!! You did an awesome job at decorating, and I’m sure they tasted just as good as they look! Are you doing this professionally? If not, maybe you should think about it. 🙂
@sheila @ Elements
thanks Sheila! it means so much to hear you say that! i’m actually studying accounting but am enjoying making cookies as a job right now!
@Allison
thanks Allison! I’m doing this as a job until I graduate and start my job as an accountant. Then later on in life, who knows? By the way, did the yoga fitness fusion video the other day.. oh my goodness. my body hurt so bad the next day but it was amazing! haha
Megan!!!! These are amazing. Are you doing this as a job now? How wonderful!
@Allison
I just graduated with my bachelors degree and now I have a year of grad school. Do an etsy account and then send me the link! I’m thinking of ding one for my cookies.
@Megan
me too!!!! i was sooo sore when i woke up the next day (and the next few days.. lol) but it’s worth it, right??
that is so amazing that you are able to use your passion for cooking/baking as a job! i’m trying to come up with some ways i can earn extra cash this summer that may not be a traditional job. i’m thinking of opening up an etsy shop!
when do you graduate?
how cute are these! i LOVE them! you have quite the skill!
I am so impressed! I had seen the heart ones before, but the dress shaped cookies are incredible looking! I love them! ..both the shape and your decorating! Almost too pretty to eat,,,almost
ohh okay. i still have one more year of undergrad before i go on to grad school. omg you should definitely sell your cookies on etsy!!! what a great idea 🙂
These really are amazing, Meg. So professional looking. Just promise me I can work as a cashier in your bakery one day. =)
As the taste tester, I can tell you they tasted as good as they looked. I’m not an icing person, but these were really good.
These are so lovely!
So delicate and pretty, and tasty I bet!
Sheesh. These are the most beautiful sugar cookies I’ve ever seen. I want to make them for my own bridal shower! 🙂
So sweet! I love the monochromatic design–so elegant.
hahah i know i’ve been kind of scared to do the “what i ate” posts because i eat way too much frozen yogurt 😉
congratulations on foodgawker!!! OMG! can you send me the link to the page??
