Last weekend I received a call from a friend asking for some cookies for her sister's upcoming bridal shower. She wanted to give them away as favours for the guests, which I think is such a great idea. She requested 80 weddings dresses with a simple "Thank You" written on them then wrapped in cello and tied with a gold twist tie. I got started as soon as possible since these cookies are a three to four day process (day 1: baking, day 2: flooding, day 3/4: decorating and packaging), and I had a lot to make! I had to break out all 6 of my stacking cooling wracks and I still ran out of space. Once Thursday hit, I was faced with 80+ little white blank canvases. Now, I know I was supposed to write thank you on them, but instead I just went to town with the royal icing and created 80+ different wedding gowns. I couldn't help myself! It was too much fun seeing how the next gown would turn out, because I never really knew when I started a cookie. Here are a couple of pictures of my favourites.
