Oh how I love being asked this question!
"If cake is served at weddings, what is a Cookie Table?"
I want to share with you a fabulous idea sweeping the country for weddings and all events...The Cookie Table, which began in Western Pennsylvania, per some mighty proud bakers in the Keystone State!
Now we know that the proverbial icing on a wedding is the bridal cake and the groom's cake...however, cookies are playing a big part, as well, from sea to shining sea, in addition to the cake.
In our family, when a member and or even a good friend seems "sweet" on someone, we ask..."Is it time to fire up the pizzelle irons?!"
Lighting their hearths and baking the sweet treats, weeks before the wedding, are families of the bride and groom, friends and neighbors...all very happy to be involved in this labor of love.
There may be no greater tribute to cross-cultural friends and marriages than The Cookie Table. It's what makes America great; a medley of nationalities taking the best from each. The best, in this case, being favorite and famed family cookie recipes.
Nestled in a corner of the main event room, is a table or tables laden with a multitude of cookies...everything from biscotti, Russian tea cakes, Baklava, pizzelles, buckeyes, thumb prints (with the filling featuring the wedding colors, of course) nut, poppy seed and apricot rolls, peanut butter blossoms, pecan tassies and ladylocks, to name but a few.
Cookies can be purchased from bakers or bakeries, as well.
Your wedding experts at Yes We Cater can address your Cookie Table questions!The Scandinavians may get involved and the Native Americans, too. The Germans do cookies and so do the Irish and the Spanish. If I have left anyone out, like the English, add them to the cookie equation, too."
The Cookie Table can be regally on display at every social event a family may plan from: Baptisms, graduations, anniversaries, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, birthdays, funerals...you name it, and let the baking begin!
An extremely vital part of The Cookie Table are small boxes, baggies or napkins for guests to take some cookies home to enjoy.
We usually tell our brides and grooms to have at least six cookies per guest.
So, now-a-days, in addition to asking...How was the wedding? Many folks will ask...Were the cookies good?!
All of this, all of your event questions and plans, the pros at Yes, We Cater can handle, most wonderfully, graciously and professionally.

As a wedding planner/consultant, I always add candy, fudge and assorted nuts to The Cookie Table to enhance the decadent extravaganza.
According to national food critic, Suzanne Martinson, who has written in depth about The Cookie Table, "Nobody knows the exact origin of the tradition of The Cookie Table...It may be Italian, or Slovak, or Polish, or Croation or Greek.
