For two….
…or more.
Either way, a bit o’ the bubbly always makes a celebration sparkle.
In this case, for an engagement.
Best wishes to the happy couple!
DIY Champagne Glass Cookie Party Favors:
Things You’ll Need:
-
Gold cake coloring (I used Americolor Gold)
-
Icing decorating bag or parchment cone
-
#3 decorating tip
-
Gold dragees (two sizes)
-
White colored pearlized luster powder (optional) (one brand is Wilton)
-
Super gold luster powder (optional)
To Decorate:
-
Outline the entire cookie in white (that’s what I did ) or gold, making a little rim on the top of the glass and a little curve to show separation from the glass and stem. Let set about 15 minutes of more.
-
Fill in the stem in white thinned royal icing. Let set about 15 minutes.
-
Fill in the glass flute with gold colored thinned royal icing.
-
While the gold icing is still wet, sprinkle one line of the larger gold dragees from the bottom up to mimic the bubbles rising in champagne.
-
Follow with smaller gold dragees sprinkled here and there.
-
Let the entire cookie dry over night or the equivalent timing.
-
With a small natural bristle craft brush, brush white colored pearlized luster powder over the white icing. This will give the white a nice sheen. (Wilton is one brand who makes this powder and is widely available)
-
Brush super gold luster powder over the gold icing. It can be brushed over the dragees too. So pretty.
My Presentation:
I tied a thin gold ribbon around the cookies for “the ladies” but this is optional. Place each cookie in a cello bag. Tie the bag closed with shiny gold ribbon in a bow leaving the ends long. Wrap the wired glass bubble ornament around the top of the bag.
The heart-shaped tags were printed on pearlized vellum using the CAC Champagne font I found on Font Squirrel. Punch a hole in the top of the tag. Using the ribbon tail opposite the bubble (since I placed the bubble off center), run ribbon through the tag. Tie the ribbon end in a knot. This lets the tag float. The reason I didn’t add the tag closer to the bow, was because it blocked the view of the top of the cookie which I felt was needed so the guests could see right away this was a champagne glass.
Cheers!
