For my latest order I had a challenge! Create cookies for a bridal shower to match the colors and style of the invitation. The cookies are going to be handed out as favors for each guest. Below is the invitation with all 6 different colors. You cant' tell from the paper but the Gerber daisy centers have a little sheen/sparkle to them. So, the challenge was on!
Mixing colors to match is not an easy task I must tell you. I'm hoping they match the invitation that was scanned to me!!! And I decided regular daisies looked better than my attempt a few weeks ago at the actual Gerber daisy.
Here is my finished product.
You might be able to see a little of disco dust I used in the middle of the flower. The invitation had a sheen/sparkle to it and I was asked if I could do something similar. When you use "disco dust" you end up getting it all over you, the cookie and the kitchen! But it sure does look pretty.
I didn't like the daisy cookie cutter I had so I ordered a new one. And with it came some mini daisy cutters. I couldn't resist but make some of those too. These are all miniature flowers to go with the bigger ones.
The entire assortment of regular and mini daisies. When I laid them all out it was quite a bit of flowers! I had my own flower garden on my butcher block.
And since these were favors for a party, the cookies were individually wrapped in bags with matching bows. The mini cookies were just an extra fun thing I added because I thought they might look cute. 
Ahh...that order is done....that one took awhile. Surprising how what seemed like a simple flower order was more work than I thought. But I think they turned out good.
Happy Baking!
