Cookie bouquet
A cookie bouquet is a bouquet of cookies that has been arranged in a container, similar to a flower bouquet. It is typical for cookie bouquets to be given as gifts or presented for decor purposes.
The cookies may be designed to resemble flowers or items in a thematic bouquet, such as smiley faces for a "Get Well" bouquet or champagne flutes and balloons for centerpieces at a New Year's Eve party.
Each cookie in a bouquet is wrapped with cellophane or a clear plastic bag. The bouquet is often decorated with ribbons or raffia. A small gift, such as a Teddy bear, is sometimes added.
Containers for cookie bouquets include mugs, watering cans, boxes and just about anything that fits the theme and won't tip over under the top heavy cookies on sticks.
Cookie boquets were invented in 1983, by Gwen Willhite. Ms. Willhite, an unemployed, single mother was creative and motivated to take care of her family. She combined two traditional gifts - flowers and sweets - and turned them into one deliciously clever concept, the cookie bouquet.
Today Ms. Willhite's company is owned by Crumbs Corp and can be found at Cookies By Design. Other "cookie boquet" companies include Clever Cookiewhich was started in 1991 by sibling entrepreneurs, Lisa Saffeir and David Wild and Corsos Cookieswhich was started by Tina Corso in 2001. Cookie Bouquet
