Sweeter than a Wedding Day

Royal Wedding fever has so many of us holding our breath until Friday morning's nuptials.  I think for the ladies my age, we all have a particular obsession with this wedding because quite frankly, our mothers have been talking about the Diana/Charles wedding for almost 30 years and while that was THE wedding of their generation, this is THE wedding of ours. 

I was still too young to remember the wedding of 1981 (I had just had my 7 month birthday), but my mother said she pretended I was sick so that she could stay home from work and watch the wedding instead.  If you think that is funny, our good friend's mother scheduled her c-section so that it wouldn't conflict with the royal wedding!  She scheduled for one of our BFFs (AS) to be born just days before the wedding so that she could be resting comfortably at home with new baby in hand and royal wedding on TV.  That is ALMOST as genius as the royal wedding treats we discovered this week:

Naturally AS and her mother have a special bond over royal weddings.  So how thrilled was AS to receive these amazing royal wedding cookies from Elenis, the famous bakery in NYC's Chelsea Market?  I had to steal her Facebook pics and share them with everyone!

Too far from NYC?  I've got the DC area's newest best kept secret (though secret not for long!)  If you think those Eleni's cookies are amazing, you should see what one of our good friends, Amy of One Preppy Cookie, has literally cooked up this week.  Just how perfect will these darling treats be for Lilly's wedding watching party Friday morning?  Amy, sweeter than a sugar cookie, is a super talented cookie artist and we are so excited for her website and blog to launch this week!  The timing couldn't be more perfect.
