Z28 Camaro Just Married Cookies

I attended my brother-in-law's wedding this past weekend in London, Ontario.  Kevin married his long-time love, Amy, in a lovely backyard ceremony.  I was thrilled when they asked me if I would bake something for their wedding day.

While I no longer make cakes or cupcakes for customers (cookies keep me plenty busy), I certainly was willing to do it for this beautiful couple.  I created a carrot cake cupcake tower - each cupcake topped with a swirl of cream cheese frosting, yum!

In addition, I made custom cookies.  Kevin has always been a huge car enthusiast and his second love is definitely his 1980 Z28 Camaro.  So some "just married" car type cookies seemed like the right way to go on this occasion.  Styled after his beloved car, they were a huge hit!

Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!  I love you both!

Wedding Reception Cake & Cookies

After a small and beautiful Cuban wedding at Christmas time, Sarie and Larry planned a reception closer to home for the family and friends who could not attend the wedding.  Using their invitation as inspiration, I was asked to create a cake and bonbonnieres for their guests.  This project was a labour of love and the gold and cream invitation provided a great jumping off point to create the two-tiered cake and matching cookies.

I achieved the golden flowers on the cake with fondant and royal icing and used 24 carat edible lustre dust to bring some sparkle to the cake. 

For the cookies I used royal icing in various shades and used the 24 carat edible lustre dust on a few of the flowers' elements to bring in the sparkle.  I wrapped each cookie in a celephane bag that I finished with a card thanking the guests.  Wishing you a happy life together, Sarie and Larry!
