Edible Place Cards
I realized while going through old holiday tutorials that I never shared these place card cookies that I made in 2016! Olive was born a couple of weeks early while I was still working on Thanksgiving and Christmas cookies and needless to say I was not prepared!
These edible place cards were inspired by a dish that my cousin gave us for our wedding (she’s a producer on BBQ Guys – check out her work!). As you can see, she knows my style well!
I wish I could say I served these cookies at my Thanksgiving table, but since Olive was born 10 days before Thanksgiving I was in no condition to host (and haven’t been ever since, haha!).

- Decorating tip 1
- Bronze pearl dust and Gold luster dust (I used Crystal Colors brand)
