Ask Dr Bride!

We were honored to be asked by Dr. Bride herself to create yummy cookies for her launch party.

For those of you who are not familiar with Dr. Bride, she is an insightful woman with years of experience in the wedding industry who gives brides-to-be honest advice. She is not going to sugar coat things or tell you what you want to hear, but will tell you what you need to hear. It's a prescription that every bride should be taking. She is honest, compassionite, and so very real. I'm sure you can tell that I'm a big fan of hers!

You can follow her or even post your own questions and comments at http://www.askdrbride.com/

So we created 2 styles of sugar cookies for the launch event. One was a hot pink and black pill and the other her very cool logo. See below for some step by step pictures and the finished products.

1. we have to size the cookie, make a template, then start rolling and cutting the dough.

2. next we print the edible images and cut each one to size. 3. then we must outline the baked cookies and flood them with yummy icing. 4. Once they are flooded we place on the edible image.

5. While the images were drying we finished flooding the pills and piped the Rx on each one. Those are now done and on to the last step of the logo cookies

6. We piped an icing border and then coated it with clear crystal sugar. (my favorite part)

These cookies were yummy and a big hit at the launch.

I Love the 80's - cake!

The best part of making this cake was our teams brainstorming session. It was so fun to remember the haircuts (flock of seagulls), the sayings (grody to the max), and the neon colors that were everywhere from sunglasses to paint splattered bandanas. All of us had a different approach to the cake so the list of possible items to include on the cake became very long. Some of the things that didn't make it on the cake were risky business sunglasses, snorks, Howard Jones, Beat Street, any of John Hughes movies, and hacky sacks. But this cake is an homage to all of those who are proud to say they cuffed their acid washed jeans, remember when MTV played music videos, and looked at life through slits in their sunglasses.

Yes that is a rubics cube (made from rice cereal treats) and pictures of Cyndi Lauper and Gem; I used to love watching Gem and always wanted to have wild pink hair! We also created a classic NES controller, the Thundercats logo, edible images of Miami Vice, The Goonies and Run DMC. The cake was just as fun to make as it is to look at and think " OMG! I remember ..."
