Joe & Jill's wedding

Jill & Joe's Wedding Cookie Collection






A SECOND wedding for the year...... my oldest daughter, Jill, married Joe in September.

It was a fabulous occasion.
And we had lots and lots of cookies!

Jill & Joe's theme for cookies was quite a bit different than Allison & Jake's.
Rather than the rustic, vintage feel......they went for a more traditional set.

Personalization is the best part of decorating cookies for special events.
I was able to make some of their favorite things per their request.



For the cookie favors placed at the table settings for the reception, there were four different cookies.

First, lace heart cookies to match the navy/fuchsia wedding colors.
(Here is the tutorial for the lace heart cookies when done for Allison's wedding.)

Next, monograph cookies.......simple and appropriate. :)



And finally, the groom and bride heart cookies.

And then I did a set of cookies just for Joe and Jill.


They love coffee. :)



Jill loves penguins.


Joe has planned all his life to own a dachshund and name him Buddy.
Now it is Joe AND Jill's plan to do so in the next couple years. :)






Here is their whole set of personalized cookies in a beautiful BRP box.

Wedding Bride Heart Cookies (Tutorial)







My sweet first born daughter got married in September.

When making these bride and groom heart cookies for her and her new husband,
I wanted to emulate her bridal gown as much as possible.




Depending on the design you're going for......will determine how to decorate the bride cookies.
I chose to make some horizontal "pleats" and then add a fancy filigree with sanding sugar.


Outline and flood the cookie with white (or ivory) 10-second glaze.
Be sure to leave a "cleavage" on the heart.


To get the pleated look, allow the cookies to dry for an hour or two and
add lines with a cake tester.



For the sparkly filigree, pipe white icing in a scroll-y fashion,
and then sprinkle white sanding sugar and white glitter crystals on top.
Shake off the excess.
(The cool little sanding tray is from here.)



Very simple.....and yet elegant in it's own right.

Wedding Groom Heart Cookies (Tutorial)






I know there is nothing new about groom and bride heart cookies.
They've been around for many years.

But as I made them for my daughter's wedding last month......
I thought I might her wedding's version on the blog.

The cool thing about these wedding cookies is that they can be completely personalized.
Both the groom and bride's wedding attire can be emulated via a heart cookie!

My new son-in-law wore a grey suit with a plaid bow tie.


He's a quite a spiffy guy.
I love him tons!
So it was an honor to make him and my daughter some special cookies for their wedding.





Start off by making the white shirt on the heart cookie.
Outline and flood a triangle (of sorts) as seen below.


Allow the glaze to dry for about 1 hour and then add the gray suit.


Once the white glaze has dried for approximately 1 1/2- 2 hours,
use a cake tester to make some shirt lines and add some buttons.


Since the bow tie's base was white, I just added a white bow tie to the cookie
and will add the pink stripes later.


Outline and flood the gray lapels.


And finally......add the pink stripes on the bowtie. :)
