The Weddingish Newsprint Bridal Party Cookies were inspired by the polished black and white style of traditional news print.  A more refined version of Weddingish’s famous bridal party cookies, these have become particularly popular and admired.  With an overwhelming demand for cookies, cookies, cookies, these original newsprint cookies have helped brides and grooms everywhere ask or thank their bridal parties with a sweet alternative to the conventional greeting card!  Every cookie is baked fresh to order and personalized for each individual.  So just how are these famously delicious cookies made? Here are a few steps of how the sweet and stylish treats are made to perfection.

Step One : The scrumptious sugar cookie has been baked and cut into a shape of a dress form- exclusive Weddingish design.  You may pick your favorite dress cookie cutter!

Step Two: The dress form is frosted with white icing to create the “dress.”

Step Three: The edible newsprint sheet with the famous words “will you be my bridesmaid?” in various fonts is then gently placed on the ‘wet’ icing of the skirt.

Step Four: The ‘skirt’ is carefully cut and shaped to the form of the cookie.

Step Five: Once the icing has dried, the dress is then ‘piped’ with black royal icing to outline the dress form. Then detailed on top with three ‘buttons.’ This gives the cookie a clean and finished look.

Step Six: To finish off the classy style, a ribbon belt is tied at the waist of the dress cookie and the cookie is placed in a decorative box for presentation. You may select any style or color of ribbon to coordinate with your wedding color or theme.

And there you have it, a delicious and fancy way of asking your bridal party to be a part of your day! The newsprint style cookies are also available in various styles for groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers and more.

Our tips: (1) For a subtle touch use white dots on a colored background. Also, weave polka dots into the details; below we love the chic texture that the white-on-white polka dots bring to the cake. (2) For a statement play around with dots and backgrounds of varying sizes and colors; below we love the colorful and fun polka dot-lined envelopes.

Don’t be afraid of prints!

Our animal print confections make for fun treats for a luncheon, as Chris Nease, creator of the blog, wonderfully demonstrated. They’re also great for bridal shower or birthday gifts for the girls. We love Chris’ statement:

“You can be inspired by any item.”
