Ingredients

1 package sugar cookie dough
1 bottle champagne extract
2 cups powdered sugar
Food coloring
Edible silver candies
Water

Grapes:

2 bunches grapes, cut into 10 small bunches
4 egg whites, lightly beaten*
2 cups sugar

Special Equipment:

Cellophane bags
Silver ribbon
Cookie cutter in wedding cake shape

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine dough with a few drops of extract and 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. On a floured cutting board, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Using cookie cutter cut out shape of wedding cake and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake cookies for 12 to14 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool. In a small bowl, combine remaining powdered sugar with a little water. Whisk until combined. Consistency can be adjusted with more water or sugar.

Using food coloring, create white icing and green icing. Transfer each to a separate piping bag with fine tip; create an outline of white icing around perimeter of cookie. When perimeter has dried, fill in center of cookie with green icing. Write guests' names on cookies and accent with silver and/or gold nonpareils. Let cookies set for 4 to 6 hours and then transfer to a cellophane bag, taking care not to smear writing. Tie with ribbon.

To add an extra accent, dip grapes in egg whites and shake off. Dip into sugar and let dry. Attach grapes to ribbon.

Use your own butter cookie recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

and these will be the hit of your occasion! I made these as place cards/favors for my own wedding reception and they turned... out great. They made people smile and fit in perfectly with my DIY/personal touches throughout the day. NOTE: I noticed several of the older comments mention "edible candles" rather than edible CANDIES. In the photo, these are the little silver balls, which are called dragees. These are extremely hard to find nowadays (as compared to when the recipe was posted) and are illegal to sell in some states because of the controversy of their real-silver coating and whether they are truly edible or only for decorating. Just wanted to let anyone know - I chose to decorate mine without them, mostly because they are like little jawbreakers and I find them too hard to bite into.Read more

great idea
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried this for a wedding shower. I used my own cookie recipe instead of the box mix. They looked great and tasted even... better. I over heard comments,they wondered what bakery that I found them at. THANKS for the inspiration.Read more

Terrible flavor
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I don't know if it was the champagne extract or what, but these tasted dreadful. A long, long way from edible.
