3-D Wedding Cake Cookies by Julia M. Usher

The work involved in creating these must be immense! The insane amount of detail is simply spectacular!

Thanks, GeminiRJ. I spent about 45 minutes to 1 hour on each of the needlepoint panels on the box in the foreground. So it was a little bit of work for that pattern. The stenciled boxes go much faster!

They are incredible but I'm amazed at how close you were able to get your corners and line up the pattern!

Gigi - I miter the corners by beveling the two joining edges at 45-degree angles using a microplaner or file. This brings the cookies closer together at the corners and usually doesn't require such a heavy seam there to cover any icing "glue." That said, I ACTUALLY have some pretty heavy borders on these corners to cover unevenness at the edge of the needlepoint piping. If I hadn't needle-pointed the tops, I wouldn't have needed such a big seam.

Beautifully done!!! Your stuff is always so elegant!

Thanks, Tailored Cookie!
