For the record, I did not wake up today determined to post about all things sugar and sweet.  But one thing led to another in my adventures around the web (as they often do!) and I landed on such a treasure, I just had to share.  Behold the most incredible cookie creations I’ve seen in a long, long time from SweetAmbs Cookies via Etsy.

Seriously…more edible houndstooth?  What did I do to deserve such a day? From Amber’s Etsy shop:

My Orange Vanilla Spice Cookies are about 3-1/2″ in diameter. They are made from a basic sugar cookie recipe, which is then flavored with fresh orange zest, vanilla beans, and a hint of cardamom. The royal icing has a dash of vanilla extract to bring together the wonderful flavors of the cookie.

I have to say I consider myself a bit of a pastry connoisseur.  I’ve been known to drag my poor husband around a city in an effort to satisfy a sweet tooth (trips to Paris with me are really fun).  But I have truly never seen anything like that painted frosting flower petal design.  That is some serious pastry tip skills!

So lovely and best of all cookie artist extraordinaire Amber can customize the design to be just perfect for your wedding.  Her blog is one jaw-dropping cookie after another.  You’ll get lost in it, don’t say I didn’t warn you!  Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to her Etsy shop to order those embroidered flower petal cookies…they will be mine!
