Last week I catered sweets for a wedding. Woohoo! Weddings are so amazing. The brides are always gorgeous, the setting is always picture perfect, and the food is always great! Notice I have no mention of the groom!
Yes, the groom is very important! But as a spectator, there's more important things! Once I get to my wedding, I'll make sure that the groom is absolutely perfect! But for now, I like to look at the details!
Even though I'm kind of young, I actually have thought about my wedding a little. Definitely going to be outside and the reception will be outside/inside. Actually, that's all I thought about. I guess it's not as much as I thought!
I catered a lot of desserts...which will come in later posts. I think that the most amazing dessert I did though were these frosted sugar cookies. I made them to look like a wedding dress and a tuxedo!
Cute right?
It was actually my first time making sugar cookies and my first time frosting sugar cookies! I'd say it turned out exceptionally well for the most part. As a perfectionist, I think they're incredibly sloppy...although the general public seemed to differ.
These cookies were very simple. I didn't include to many intricate designs or anything because I was short on time! Plus, I wasn't getting paid for this! All for fun eh?!
