I absolutely love the Gatsby era for fashion inspiration!

I had a client contact me after seeing the 1920 Antique Lace Royal Icing Brush Embroidery Clock; inquiring if I could design wedding favor cookies from the Great Gatsby era. Her daughter’s May wedding is fashioned inspired from the movie. I thought hats and hat boxes would be “ritzy.” I sketched out a few ideas and then proceed to bake and decorate a few prototypes for her to taste and see. Sydney will also be a recipient of the yummy sugar cookies.
