These cookies rule. I’ve never thought of getting married as ‘two meshing gears transmitting rotational motion’, but that’s sweet. And delicious. Kinda reminds me of these steampunk cake toppers.

Maybe they like The Jetsons… Or Gear Of Wars
A Gears of War wedding sounds like something my husband would have been in favor of.
STEAMPUNK WEDDING! I have GOT to see the dress. and the shoes. Someone post more pictures, quickly.
I have pictures of the wedding on my facebook. You’re welcome to check them out.
She made the dress, and the bridesmaids corsets and the babies’ outfits.
She’s the ‘real deal’.
By the way…we served milk in jars with the cookies. Really fun!

tried to, and failed at looking at the pics
this wasn’t in May at the Queen Mary was it?
Um interesting..but doesn’t look very tasty.
i agree. the idea’s cute, but the cookies look not so hot. those were the best looking ones they could come up with? there’s definitely an art to having cookies look beautiful and taste scrumptious at the same time. these look crunchy weird.
GNOMES!!!! who let in the gnomes???
I love it.
I’m and engineer and I hang out with engineers. Most of the female engineers I know are married to male engineers. Those cookies would be perfect for any of their family gatherings.
I think these are geekily cute for the wedding of two engineer-types who “mesh” well together.
Being a baker by trade, I’d suspect those are either shortbread or sugar cookie dough, most likely the latter. Probably not bad when fresh, but would dry out quickly. Nifty little visual piece, though. It’s what we would have called an “edible subtlety” back when I did SCA/RenFaires. Sort of a visual pun or play on words. Very cute, VERY SteamPunk. Nice!
“Transmitting rotational motion” … mmm torque dirty to me lol
are those two robots doing a fist-bump?
Ok my guess is Judy Jetson married Cosmo Spacely’s son and the reception was at Spacely’s Sprokets
I’m a little disturbed to know that my cookies are on some blog on the internet.
Backstory–I’m not a baker by any means. I’m an artist whose friend was getting married and wanted an alternative to a cake. Originally we’d planned on stacking cookies in little piles, but I thought it would be fun to make them cog-shaped to fit the steampunk theme. I had to make a cog-shaped cookie cutter using hot-glue and soda cans. Here’s where the not-a-baker part comes in: we’d used a sugar-cookie recipe but I’d failed to realize a) the cookies would spread thin and b) the cookies would be freaking brittle.
I lost a lot of them, the “piled” effect didn’t work… I got lucky I had enough to make the above stack. For what it’s worth, the cookies were still pretty tasty.
So yes. Why they look cool but possibly not look tasty–I’m pretty much only trained in “look cool”.
Thankfully my friend didn’t seem to mind and apparently, 300-some-odd folks on the internet don’t either.
Alli,
I don’t know you. However, your idea was fabulous. Way to utilize the engineer idea. I am sure it was amazing…great picture!
