Vintage Prom Dress Bridal Shower Cookies!

Here are some vintage prom dress bridal shower cookies we created recently. We were asked to create some spring and early 1960s-inspired sugar cookies perfect for a vintage prom themed bridal shower and these lovely treats were the result.

The client wanted bright pastels and some fashion details included on each cookie along with three different designs to represent the two bridesmaids and the one bride. One of the first decisions was to make each cookie a different colour instead of creating the same base colour but with different detailing. Looking at the customer’s inspiration board on Pinterest we selected a fresh scheme of pale pinks, white, lilac and a faded Tiffany blue - perfect for spring and the early 1960s!

Quick sketches were made of each dress with ideas and notes on textures, colours, materials and design elements. For the bridal dress we added simple royal icing swiss dots, a pearl border to trim the bust and a lovely pink grosgrain ribbon bow. Each of the bridesmaids dresses featuring a pale base colour in flooded royal icing. We added tiny blossoms to the pink that were delicately thinned given a little dimension before being finished with a small sugar pearl inside each. The pale Tiffany blue cookie had simple brush embroidery style teardrops trimming the bust and hem of the dress before being finished with a grosgrain lilac ribbon bow!

Tiffany and Co. Bridal Shower Cake!

Here’s a lovely bright Tiffany and Co. bridal shower cake that we recently created for a New York themed party! We were asked to create something minimal and inspired by the iconic Tiffany’s store and it’s luxurious packaging on 5th Avenue. For this we concentrated on three elements that are instantly recognisable  and associated with Tiffany and Co.!

If you want to re-create this chic cake yourself then we’ve created a wonderful step-by-step tutorial that’s available via the Craftsy.com blog.

Our first thoughts and ideas on creating a Tiffany’s inspired cake were of the classic Tiffany blue colour, elegant strings of pearls and the lovely crisp white satin ribbon that finishes each boxed purchase. From these elements we played with shopping bags, vintage hat box styled cakes, a wrapped parcel cake and then simplified our ideas down to a clean and minimal circle cake trimmed with three rows of shimmering edible pearls and accented with a draped fondant bow.

The cake itself is a wonderfully vibrant red velvet cake! We suggested this to our customer due to the iconic Waldorf=Astoria in NYC being the birthplace of the decadent ruby tinted chocolate dessert itself. It is filled and then crumb coated with our silky Madagascan vanilla buttercream before it was covered with marshmallow fondant tinted to match some Tiffany and Co. packaging.

For a more elaborate take on this Tiffany and Co. bridal shower cake why not add different jewels, ice a square cake before decorating it to look as though gift-wrapped,  create a fun shopping bag with glistening edible jewellery spilling out?
