I want to try cookie bouquets, but don't know how to arrange them and the process used. Where do you purchase your containers? Do you put florist foam inside container to hold cookies? Where do you purchase bags if you are just starting out and don't need huge qtys? Someone please take pity on me. icon_lol.gif

You can use many things for containers, try the dollar stores.

If you use the search key above and enter cookie bouquets limit the search to the titles, and the cookie forum you will find many many threads with lots of information


here is a one about bags for cookies

Thanks. So, how do you do more than one color? Do you have to do one, let it dry, then do the other? I'm feeling dumb.

Just a hint on bags, I use zip lock sandwich bags and cut off the sipping portion when I am in a crunch. Once you tie a ribbon around the bottom no one even notices.

When doing 2 colors I either seperate them out with a border between them or I let the first one dry and put the second one on top.

As far as arranging I stick to odd numbers and just move them around til they look nce to me, and use the soft floral foam it is much easier to position the cookies where you want them and how deep in the foam you need them to be.
