Wedding Cookies - When planning for your wedding day, the dress, time, place and husband are usually the first and most important things to think about. For my friend’s special day the wedding cookies overrode almost everything else for me because I was elected to make some of these treats for the reception.
I am known for making very decorative pastries as well as meals that are as pleasing to the eye as they are the palate. I suppose my friend felt that I would make some interesting wedding cookies with innovative designs. I took the assignment as a complement and began working on unique designs for wedding cookie project.
My first design was actually simple and not very original. I made round vanilla flavored cakes, about the size of a melon scoop. Once they were baked, I cut them in half and hollowed out the center. I made a filling of vanilla pudding spiced with Peach Schnapps and filled the center.
I then placed the two halves together and used the filling to hold them together. I then combined orange food coloring with granulated sugar and rolled the cookies into the mixture. I added a plastic stem leaf. The looked like tiny, sparkling peaches.
My second design for the wedding cookies was to make tiny brides and grooms. I took a large marshmallow and some small marshmallows to create the body of the bride and groom. I then took chocolate in a liquid form and decorated the Grooms’ tuxedo. I used white chocolate for the bride’s dress. I then added graham crackers that I made into a powder and sprinkled over the chocolate.
The next design that I came up with for the wedding cookies was a tiny bouquet of flowers. I used store brand vanilla wafers and simply spread green icing on them and piped different colors of flowers on them. They were very easy and still looked complicated to make.
The other design was created out of bite-size tart tins. I placed a layer of graham cracker crust on the bottom and sides. I made cheesecake filling and filled the tarts. I then took maraschino cherries and placed them on top.
I might not have made the best wedding cookies that have ever been but I did make ones that I knew the bride and groom would like. Each cookie was designed with their particular tastes in mind. A little imagination went a long way in this project.
