Here is a picture of my first Cookie Bouquet. I made it for my friends granddaughters birthday. I love making them, still have a lot to learn, but there is no better way to learn than to try it!

you did an excellent job for your first bouquet... nice cookies, colors and arrangement. icon_biggrin.gif ..
Hope you don't mind one suggestion I noticed you're doing what we all do in the beginning, letting the shred hang over the sides. I would suggest that you either tuck it in or cut it so that it doesn't distract from the pretty bouquet and you can see the cute little container. It really will make a difference.
Great job!!

Very nice!!

Yep, I did the same thing with my first bouquet, let the shred just take over my pot! LOL! I've since changed to tissue because with a dog that eats everything and anything, I'd be pulling shred out of everywhere. LOL!

You did a beautiful job ! If it's not being too nosey, may I ask what you guys charge for cookie bouquets ? Do you charge per cookie and then add on for the container, styrofoam, etc ? Thanks !

I used MMF for my base icing, all but the hand and I flooded it with RI, then I used RI for my detailing. On one cookie I used the colored sanding sugar. I lightly wet the MMF then sprinkled the sugar on. I can't wait to do more! Thank you guys for all of the comments! This site is absolutely addicting!!

I just did my first paid bouquet. I charged per cookie and then guesstimated how much I could find a nice container for, and a few more pennies for the sticks, bags, and ribbon. I added $10 to the cookie price for those costs and came out just right.

Oh and I charge $25 for a 5 cookie bouquet and go up from there. That might change depending on what containers I have. I found a ton of nice ceramic ones at the $ store for my current orders.
