The Wedding Cookie Table CommunityA cooking 'friend' on FB told me about a group on FB called The Wedding Cookie Table Community and added me to it. It might be one of the best food communities on FB. Thought I would share in case any of you are interested. I can't remember if it was Marilyn or someone else but I am sure the first time I ever heard about them was on this site. I just love the idea and the folks in this group are some of the nicest, most drama free people on FB. Wonderful ideas, recipes, help, etc. They even have a yearly convention - I want to go one year, maybe next year - Marilyn, wanna have a girls trip to PA??? They have also published several cookbooks, not cheap but I get it, and they are about to release one celebrating 250 years of cookies in America and how they went about getting recipes, creating recipes, and they assigned them to different members to test based on that person's cookie cooking ability. So yeah, expensive but I might have to splurge. This group has me wanting to start an awareness campaign to spread this custom in the south and maybe even start a business around it doing cookie tables.
 
Yep, that would be me. Another FB source is "Pittsburgh Cookie Table" Facebook

Here is a link for my niece's 2023 wedding (I made 1,600 for that one). The table is decorated in Pittsburgh Steeler colors (black & gold) and some of the cookie stands are famous Pittsburgh landmarks. I made the Three River's fountain at the middle of the table (I REALLY wanted there to be THREE tables coming off my fountain, but I was persuaded that wouldn't work for the flow.)

It's another Pittsburgh Cookie Table

The wedding was Saturday--and at "I really don't care anymore" last count, there were approximately 3,500 cookies. I took a video before the ceremony, but ~1/3 of the cold cookies weren't on display yet. Then a friend of my sister took one mid-wedding and about 1/4 of the cookies are already...

And then this was my nephew's wedding in 2021. 850 cookies for that one.

A Pittsburgh Wedding (aka More Cookies than you can count…and I tried)

So this Saturday was my nephew’s wedding. (This next LONG bit is what happened leading right up to the wedding….skip it if painful medical issues make you queasy.) Plans were complicated by the fact that 93-year old Mom fell and broke her hip on June 5th, requiring emergency partial hip...

Ah. I was trying to find it on that facebook link. And you are right! $45-$50...for a ring-binder book. I "might/possibly/would consider" it if they included an index, so I could see what I was buying. But just a title from an unknown source? Too much.
