The Cookie Table, redux

GC has started a cookie table obsession in me. I already told my boyfriend that we are having an ice cream cake and a cookie table at our wedding instead of a traditional wedding cake.

So far, this is going over like a lead balloon. I had to remind my DF of his promise. I start making rum balls this weekend, and my bridesmaids and all Burgh people have been primed to either bring cookies, or sweetly ask, "Where's the Cookie Table? You can't have a wedding without a Cookie table!" One very dear friend has promised to come early, make her remark about the lack of the Cookie Table, and then go out and get some (they'll be in her car)!

I should have told y'all this one earlier: the last wedding I went to was a Scots wedding, with all of the men wearing their respective kilts, and the ladies wearing their sashes. The groom's kilt was predominately black and purple, so the bridesmaid dresses were black, with purple trim for those not Scots.

Do you know what I mean by lady locks, cream horn or clothespin cookies? They're hollow pastry tubes filled with some sort of whipped cream or icing. Well, at this wedding, the ladies filled them with black or purple icing! All night long, people were licking their teeth so they didn't look black! I just found a place that sells the empty shells, and we can fill them there!
