Have you ever seen over 50 brides in the same room?
Me neither, (until now). ;-)
I was asked to make 50 bride cookies and 50 apple cookies for a bridal shower. There are actually more than 50 here though; I always make extra in case some break or don’t turn out the way I like them to.
The general bridal shower decorating theme was green apples, if you’re wondering what Granny Smith decorated cookies are doing on these cake tiers. I mixed Ateco Avocado Gel Color
They are sugar cookies decorated with royal icing. As usual, I used Peggy Porschen’s
Thanks to Susan, flickr user Andovercookiemama for the idea of the white line to indicate light reflection on the cookie. It added a bit more to just a green apple (I think!)
The bride-to-be has brown hair and some jewelled details around the empire waist of her wedding dress, so I tried to replicate some of the details using Non-Toxic Disco Dust
Here they are packaged up and ready to go.
I hope the bride-to-be is happy with them!!
Thanks Dani1101,

I used Americolor copper (flesh tone)
May I ask what colour or mix of colours you used for the bride’s skin tone?
I used a little tiny bit of copper and pink.
Wow! I am so inspired by your beautiful creations. I would like to try and make these bridal cookies for the shower we are giving my niece. She would love them! Do you have any suggestions of how I might be able to create the brides shoulder lengh hair that is blonde and very curly. Is there a technique and/or colors you might suggest. Thanks for your help.
Thanks Kathy!
I would suggest doing a flat base (like the ones here), and then use a thicker icing of the same color on top of that base, to either pipe squiggles or little curls (open circles or spirals – you might have to play with that a little and see which look you like best).
@ marian:
Thank you, Marian for your help. One more question, do you remember what size cookie cutter you used for your bride cookies?
Hi Kathy, the cookie cutter was about 6.5 inches or 16.5 cm.

Hi Marian,
I am just about ready to start decorating my “bride” cookies. I am excited! Do you remember the steps you did when decorating the cookie? Any help would be appreciated.
@ Kathy: Why yes I do…
1) Skin-colour icing – Piped the head, neck, arms, and bust
2) When that was dry, I piped the white dress and the facial features.
3) Once the dress was dry, I added the details and the brown hair.
4) Once the hair was dry, I piped the ‘hair accessories’ and feet.
There you go!
Have fun with and please share your pics on my facebook page when you’re done. Would love to see them!
