Good-bye EG, Hello U of I

Graduation season continues. . . this weekend we are celebrating the achievements of a family friend. It was fun to have the opportunity to visit an old friend, the Grenadier.

Since Dorothy is planning to attend the University of Illinois, I made some t-shirt cookies that were hidden at the bottom of the tray. 

Celebrating a Silver Anniversary

 

My niece, Kelly, and her husband, Bucket (aka-- Scott), are celebrating their Silver Anniversary.  Since my family is big on "traditions"--Lamb Cakes at Easter, Grab Bags at Christmas, Cheesy Potatoes, Cheesecake. . . I have decided to make the vintage car cookie my "traditional" anniversary cookie.

In addition,  I hand cut Stargazer Lilly cookies, to represent the beautiful floral bouquets that Kelly's Mom made for the wedding party.

When I made the surprise cookie delivery, Kelly told me that the car reminded her of the figurine that she had on top of her cake.  Ooops--I had completely forgotten about it.  Big dresses and Precious Moments, so much a part of that era.

Love, Hugs and Cookies to a very special couple.
