More Sugars!

I was asked to make 300 Square Monogram sugar cookies for Chelsea and Spencer's wedding. I was very excited and very nervous to make such a huge amount. After all, I am very new at this.

It took Monday and Tuesday to make 12 double batched of sugar dough, baking 12 cookies at a time (I have massive pans, regular ones only hold 6!). Wednesday I made and colored 3 large batches of Green royal icing, and 2 large batches of Black. I would have saved myself some stress and time had I just made one more of each! Thursday, I got busy! With the help of Megan and Emily we got almost all of the cookies outlined and flooded with green. Then it was a matter of the finishing touches, which I was left on my own to complete. Boy was I nervous. By Saturday I was ready to start bagging. I sat in front of the TV, watched movies and talked on the phone with Chad while bagging and tying all of them up, completing my project by Sunday night!

It was such a huge process. Very happy to have had the experience, and hope to have some more orders in the future.

Thanks Chelsea and Spencer for letting me be apart of your special day. :)

Most were tied up with black ribbon, but I ran out after 100 yards, and of course didn't get pictures of that one!

The freezer. Piled high and deep!

Believe it or not, after making over 300 Squares, I wasn't tired of cookies. I had left over dough and black icing. What better way to use it up than spider web cookies, just in time for Halloween! Don't you just LOVE?

Im going to make some more cookies this week, so stay tuned for more pics! I feel like Im getting a little better. :)
