glove cookies &
chocolate mousse cups

    

Occasion: Garden Club Officers Installation Meeting

Difficulty: A bit of work


Gloves Cookies:  I made sugar cookies using a hand cookie cutter. Keeping the fingers from breaking was a challenge. I then took white chocolate and made "squiggles" all over the cookies.  Before the chocolate could set I used chunky sugar to give them some sparkle.  

Chocolate Mousse Cups:  I made candy hats using a mold and "melts".  I then decorated each hat using fondant strips for ribbons and premade candy flowers for decorations.  I made these well ahead of the meeting.  I bought plastic glasses with short stems and filled them with homemade chocolate mousse.  At the last minute I added whipped cream and topped with a hat.  

I decorated the table with lace handerchiefs, lace gloves, and used silver spoons.

Additionally, I used pretty frames and decorated paper to mark what the foods were.
