We’ve all heard the phrase, “Looks too good to eat.” Well, we’ve found a cookie that may look like it’s to precious to consume, but is definitely worth biting into. The Gumdrop Cookie Shop (gumdropcookieshop.com) specializes in iced-sugar cookies that taste homemade but look nothing like your mother’s treats.

The eye-catching confections begin as a 3-inch palette for the creative designs the staff at this bakery dream up. The Gumdrop Cookie Shop’s buttery rounds are embellished with graphics that range from elegant brides holding bouquets to geometric rings in vivid colors. For a totally customized bite, add your monogram to the mix. Placed atop a graphic striped background or surrounded by romantic filigree, your guests will marvel at the artistry of these cookies.

And brides who love color will “wow” at the daring combinations the shop specializes in—purple and lime or magenta and tangerine are remarkably chic. Best of all, the cookies really are delicious; we have the empty boxes to prove it! When packaged as wedding favors in cellophane bags, your guests won’t be able to resist digging into them.
