About six months ago I woke up to Sarah McLachlan singing “In The Arms of An Angel” on one of those SPCA commercials. I don’t know what it was, but I think that soft side of me began to come out. In the past when one of those commercials came on I would change the channel right away. But for some reason I didn’t change the channel. Instead I actually watched it. No, I didn’t cry or anything, but just felt sad for those animals. For some reason, I decided to search for the nearest SPCA in the Raleigh area. As soon as I saw this cutie on the SPCA site, I just had to have her. Lauren and I decided to name her Nina. I’m so happy my emotions got the best of me!
Today’s treat is a “Sugar-Cookie Cake Favor”. These basic sugar cookies are stacked to resemble miniature wedding cakes. Your wedding guests will be happy to take this nice little something home with them!
For this recipe (that makes 8 cakes), you’ll need 8 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 cups of unsalted softened butter, 4 cups of sugar, 4 eggs, 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract & icing (pick any color you like!). Bake 3 different sizes of sugar cookies @ 325 degrees until edges are golden. Let cool, then smooth icing in between each cookie before stacking them together. Smooth remainder of icing all around the stacked cookies with a spatula. Dot miniature wedding cakes with tiny edible pearls and you’re finished. Voila´!
We’re happy you’re here! Please enjoy our recent collection of weddings, engagements, bridals & daily life. If you like what you see, we would love to meet you & talk about your wedding day! We are currently booking for 2011.
