I had a really fun opportunity this summer to provide desserts for Seattle Bride Magazine's "Best of Bride 2017" party! The theme was Hawaiian which was a very popular wedding theme this year, I wonder if it had anything to do with the movie Moana...

The event took place at a new venue in Belltown called Block 41. My favorite part about it was the open patio area that they had in the back. It was a really cool space, 2 levels and would definitely be fun for a wedding.

The event was a huge success and so much fun. I met a lot of great industry professionals (over 400 people came!!). Making the desserts for the event was quite a feat. Not only was the weather in Seattle that weekend on the *warmer* side, making the kitchen itself and oven, but some of these little shapes were giving me some grief to roll and cut...mainly the palm trees and the flamingos.

Flamingo's I know are not technically "Hawaiian" but they still are cute and go with the overall tropical theme! Flamingos and palm leaves are very "in" right now. And boy were these little guys the hit of the party! Everyone was loving them!

I got a couple comments from people that they though the wedding dress cookies were martini glasses? Really ?!?! Give me a break *eye roll* Put your cheaters on LOL.

I actually did have a request for some Moana themed cookies this summer so I am just throwing these little guys into this blog post because they are just too cute! I love the tiki head cookies, they were my favorite and the best part about them? - I used my popcorn box shape cookie cutter to make them! It is always a little mental *win* when I get to use a cookie cutter shape that is a bit out of the box.

Ok but back to the party! The hibiscus cookies were definitely a favorite and a hit at the party too. I loved how these little beauties turned out which I was a little unsure of using buttercream to get the detail in the flower but I think it worked out!

And just in case you didn't believe me that this was a popular wedding theme - I actually did a cute assortment of wedding and tropical cookies for a bridal shower! So much fun!
