Can you imagine being married 61 years?  Quite the accomplishment so I wanted the cookies at their party to be sweet and elegant yet celebratory!  I used ivory and a dusty rose (dark pink with a splash of ivory) and some gold highlights to that end.

The customer gave me this photo of Nonna and Grandpa.  I wanted a lace like frame so I pulled out a sugar sheet and a trusty Martha Stewart edge punch and voila!

Nonna is said to make the best meatballs in town and Grandpa the same in wine.

Here’s a toast to many more years!
