Customised Hand Decorated Wedding Cookies

Customised hand decorated wedding cookies are becoming increasingly popular for both wedding favours and for wedding gifts. You can purchase wedding favour cookies on line and although I?ve seen them in a range of designs on line ? Bride & Groom Cookies, Wedding Cake Cookies, Wedding Dress Cookies, Morning Suit Cookies, Personalised Heart Cookies ? some cookie companies will also make bespoke customised cookies just for you. My friend, who happens to practice Highland Dancing in her spare time got married last year to a Royal Marine. She had wedding cookies for her favours which were absolutely amazing.

The ladies all had gingerbread highland dancer girls with full edible kilt and everything; and the men had gingerbread men Royal Marines ? in full edible regalia! Each wedding favour cookie was individually wrapped & trimmed with a coordinating satin ribbon. Everyone was so delighted with their wedding favour cookies ? they looked amazing and tasted delicious too - it really made the bride and grooms day. When I get married, I am definitely going to order cookies for my wedding favours.

I want to use my wedding cookies as place names too and some cookie companies will even pipe each guests names onto a beautiful hand decorated cookie individually wrapped for each guest. I have chosen personalised heart wedding cookies in my lilac & white wedding colours but I was really torn as the wedding cake cookies look amazing. I think I?ll just have to order some of each! Don?t take my word for it though ? search ?wedding cookies? for yourself and see the variety of wedding cookie designs that you could have to make your day extra special.

Is there a recipe for cream soda flavored truffles / chocolates / candies?

I'd like to try making my own box of hand-dipped and hand-decorated chocolates. One of my favorite beverages is cream soda. Is there any sort of vanilla or cream soda flavored candy/truffle I could make easily without a bunch of crazy ingredients?

It might be cute to make a molded candy shaped like a soda bottle, but I could just as easily (and preferably) work with a hand-made type ball shaped candy, so recipes for either way would be awesome.

Didnt jellybellies have a cream soda flavour? Anyway, Im pretty stumped unless youre willing to experiment at youre own peril!
Its possible caramelise soda in a pot. Start with sugar in a pot, how much is up to you, let it cook until golden brown and caramelised, add some soda ATTENTION it will IMMEDIATELY bubble like fury! Stand back! And after you can dip just about anything into it with a fork and you will a caramelised coating. Other than that Im not sure if you can get Cream soda essence.You could replace it in popular truffle etc. recipes for the vanilla essence.

However I do have this for a cake version, easier to shape too...

CREAM SODA CAKE

Ingredients:-
180 g butter
3 large eggs
90 g castor sugar
1 tsp vanilla or lemon essence
240 g flour
1 tsp baking power
1 cup ice cream soda

Method:-
Beat butter until light and creamy. In a separate bowl whisk eggs and castor sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in beaten butter and essence. Carefully fold in sifted flour and baking powder alternately with ice cream soda.
Pour mixture into a 21 cm round cake tin lined with greased greaseproof paper. Bake in a moderate oven for 35 mins or until cooked when tested with a skewer.

Good luck
