One fine day, a box arrived from the shop in DC, filled with custom orders....this is business as usual, most weeks I get a couple of deliveries from the shop.....
as I was unpacking the box, I noticed a very elegant bakery box...I opened it up and inside were tea cookies....my first thought was how sweet, but then I noticed the label..... the bakery was in Florida ...... on closer inspection, I found an order sheet , requesting four cookies ... the customer brought the cookies up from Florida to be the models....and no don't eat them because they are stale....boo hoo...
this is right up there in the top ten of strange orders...not that cookies are strange, but I have never had anyone before send models.... the customer was very serious about the cookie
being exact...OK.... ...I can do that...a nice change from flowers....and I love laughing out loud, when I am alone........It did give me a good laugh....and yes the customer was so pleased she ordered a couple more...I never asked what she was going to do with the cookies...it was enough to know that she was pleased.......never dull here in Squiggeeland !

You got them down perfectly! I used to prefer the pastel colored ones, tho'. Do you also do chocolate eclairs? I know just where to get them in Tallahassee. LOL
LOL! I love it, and since when are cookies too stale? That is what coffee is for, isn't it? And, btw, nice job!
Good thing she didn't send chocolates....I'd have eaten them before they ever made it to a canvas!
