A great trick is to use a bowl to shape the cookie.  With the fortune laying on top,

fold the cookie in half  then fold again around the edge of bowl.  Seam side up.

Keep a kitchen towel handy to allow cookies to cool completely before packaging.  

Each cookie had either a funny or sweet fortune for the loving couple.  I found heart bags and

wrapped each one individually.  Made ahead of time they stored perfectly in this container.

Rather than offering the traditional toasts, each guest had a glass of champagne and read

 their fortune to the groom and bride to be.  It was a fabulous way to bring everyone together at the end of the evening.

Keeping it easy I try to limit the amount of things that I make.  Good ratio is to purchase

 2 things to every 3 that I make.  This allows me to add a personal touch without

 spending too much time in the kitchen.  

Have fun with your theme and try to use what you already have.  Being

 creative with what you have on hand makes it fun for you and your guests.

With each cake I make, I learn by my mistakes.  I try to not get so hard

 on myself  when I make mistakes, there is always a way to hide your oops!

Who would have thought a $3.00 package of diamond rings would be

such a hit!  Everyone was wearing them by the end of the evening.

Diamond ring cookies were the perfect favor for guests to bring home.

 The best way to have a successful party is to make it your own.  Having a theme is a great way to start

and then brainstorm ideas.  Some ideas may have to be saved for the next party, keeping it fun

 but simple is important because you'll be able to enjoy the party as well!

Party on!!
