I always loved the idea of having a coffee and cookie bar at the end of the evening for guests to take with them on the road. So I asked my very best friends to each bake a couple dozen cookies that we could put in jars as guest leave for the evening! I'll share the finished product tomorrow.
I was inspired by these two versions but wanted to give the idea my own twist!
First off was making a stamp in the likeness of the peony. I printed out my artwork and traced it Printmaking Block Material that I purchased online from Nasco then I carved the pattern out of the block, rolled on my pink paint and stamped them onto bakery bags!
At the time I still lived in a studio apartment in midtown and space was tight!
My mother collected and cleaned jars and I made personalized cookie tags for each one.
My husband's favorite baseball team is the Mets so my sister made dozen's of Mr. Met cookies as a surprise!
A couple of days before the wedding I got together with my childhood girlfriends for some sangria and cookie making!
Each girl made their own specialty cookie!
