I really like how your surprise cookie has a place for a hidden message below the beautiful bouquet of royal icing flowers, which turned out very elegant by the way. And I like how you've cleverly added roses on the bottom cookie to hold the dome in place. Also, using edible items as part of your packaging is definitely thinking outside-the-box (or is that inside-the-box?) Everything you've done shows that you really put a lot of thought into your entry, and the colors and design coordinate beautifully with the inspiration photos.

Thank you for all of your encouraging and kind remarks Christine. As I mentioned, this was definitely a challenge for me. I really had no idea where to begin. I just kept rolling around ideas in my head and again as I was making it. Fortunately it all came together - but it was definitely touch and go for awhile !

What a beautiful floral arrangement Lisa @LisaF!! I've always been partial to flowers (I was a floral designer many, many years ago). I just love the variety of colors and shapes of different flowers. I was surprised to read that you don't feel especially confident with your flowers??? What? They're wonderful Lisa. As I know only too well, we are our worst critics but don't be hard on yourself my dear. This is a beautiful cookie and the box is a perfect presentation package for highlighting all the gorgeous colors of your flowers. These are really well done!! Awesome work my dear friend ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...

Thank you for your kind words Carol. I’ve been so inspired by all of the detailed, intricate work that so many do on this site. Unfortunately, I don’t always have the patience or discipline. I’m working on it though! I so appreciate your encouragement.❤️😘🍪

What a beautiful cookie Lisa @LisaF. I loved the fact you challenged yourself to make these flowers. Practice is the key and I think with your willingness to learn you are off to a great start. I love the hidden surprise cookie. Great job dear.

Thank you dear Zeena @Zeena. I’m really trying to play around more with royal icing and modeling chocolate. I feel more comfortable with fondant and gum paste but am definitely trying to expand. You’re so right though - practice is definitely the key !❤️😘🍪

Thank you so much Julia. I surprised myself by finishing this so early. But in these waning days of summer, this is the only time window I had. I told various family members that I needed to focus on my wedding cookie and they’re still trying to figure out who’s getting married!
The silicone mold I used for the dome is the 002. The opening measures 2 3/4” (not sure if this is the proper way to measure domes!) There are a total of 44 flowers on the dome, various shapes and sizes.

LOL about not knowing the wedding couple! Thanks for the scoop. Lots of flowers - a real labor of love!

Ooh, such a clever idea with the surprise inside! I love it! And congrats on being the first entrant! Just out of curiosity, how many flowers went on the dome? And how big is the dome?
