We just had a bridal shower for my brother's future wife.
The theme was a garden party.
I can't take credit for the idea of flower cookies in pots,
that goes to my friend and co-worker Amy Morrison!
These turned out pretty well.
It was my first time making a large amount of cookies like this,
so I wasn't sure how it would all turn out.
It did take about a week to complete.
I made about 68 cookies in all.
Each pot had 5 or 6 cookies in them.
I liked the look of the plastic flower pots rather than the terra cotta ones, but after I brought them home I ran into a problem...
the cookies were heavier than the pots!
So quick thinking...I bought some river rocks
and put them in the bottom.
I'm happy to say that none of the pots tipped over!
They were used as favors as well,
and each guest seemed to enjoy taking one home with them,
there wasn't one left in a pot!
I also made a "cake" out of (Nautica) towels.
They worked out nicely, not too big and bulky.
I didn't want large towels since I was putting small
kitchen gadgets around them.
I was rather pleased with the end result.
The ribbon matches our bridesmaides dress too!
