I've been working the last two weeks on a wedding order ~
chocolate oak leaf cookies...265 of them!
First you roll out, cut and bake the leaves.

Then you frost with one color and drizzle a contrasting color in the middle. Run a toothpick through while wet
to get that marbleized look.

Next, using a pastry bag and tip, pipe a thickericing around the edge.

Wine and gold colors are beautiful wedding colors
for November, don't you think?

After they are dry, give a little sparkly gold dust detail.

Wrap in cellophane bags, tie with ribbon and tags..JPG)
They will be laid at each place setting at the reception.
Fun! Yum!

Slommler ~ haha...well, it does get a little tedious toward the end, but I've tried to divide the work up over several days so I don't feel swamped or panicked. It is fun, though...as long as everything runs smoothly, which it has! :)

ReplyDeleteSorry, but "bake the leaves" just gave this post an WHOLE new meaning.
You confessing to something? ;)
Scape ~ cute. Wrong shaped cookie cutter, right? Now those leaves wouldn't have gone over well for the wedding! ha.

ReplyDeleteGee Whiz.. these are beautiful! I'm sure they taste as good as they look! I must place my order!
ReplyDelete:)The Bach
How Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea how 'fancy' leaf cookies could both look (with the right talented person making them... like You)! Or how cool some could 'package' the elegant treats after creating them!
Thank you for sharing your secrets!! :-)
HUG,
Coreen

ReplyDeleteThey are such beautiful cookies Betsy! I'm sure they taste as good as they look.
