weekly wrap up + miette wallpaper cookies



i heart miette in a major way. whether i’m visiting their shop, drooling over their fine art-inspired creations, or peeking inside their homes, i’m always impressed. so i was thrilled to hear from tess at miette about their new wallpaper-inspired confections. the miette shop in san francisco is covered in an osborne & little wallpaper, so they decided to create delicious shortbread cookies based on the wallpaper’s floral pattern. each cookie is topped with royal icing that mimics the wallpaper’s color and pattern perfectly and looks almost too pretty to eat. but because i’m generally hungry for sweets all the time, i have a feeling i could get passed that urge to preserve their beauty. you can pick up the cookies in person if you’re in san francisco, or order them online and have them shipped directly to your hungry tummy house.

i’m packing up for the day, so i’ll see you all on monday! i hope you all have a wonderful weekend and if you missed anything this week, a summary of this week’s highlights are below:

    Oh my gosh those are so cute! I love the hydrangea one. What a great idea. Wish I were better at frosting and flooding. But why when I can just buy these?

    Oh…my…gosh!! I love Miette and I can’t tell you how much I love these cookies!! Well, the look of them anyway; I haven’t actually tasted them, but everything at Miette is tasty.

    jaclyn

    oh WOW. these cookies are amazingly adorable! the colors and patterns are so pretty. i NEED to visit their shop in SF!!

    hilary

    Oh Grace! How could you?? I’ve been so good on my diet all week long but WHO could resist such cookies? These are the cutest things in the world and they look divinely inspired…

    On the other hand, thanks for the gorgeous eye candy!

    Lindsey

    Oh my goodness, those look amazing. I’m going to San Francisco for my honeymoon in June, and we’re adding a trip to Miette!

    Emma

    just seeing this makes me want to throw a party where all the food is inspired by the room..imagine the possibilities.

    Marija

    Wow!!! How incredibly beautiful!! This is certainly a great inspiration.

    Oh, I wish I could make these…

    I am an avid reader and love all that I see on your site but please, as a resident of Australia (a little too far from SF), I must have the DIY instructions for these and (cookie cutters please). I promise I won’t tell. Keep up the great work.

    Ari

    That’s just cuteness insanity!! It’s nuts how talented some people are! And oh my word where’d you get that adorable plate?!

    Jennifer

    WOW! Those are gorgeous….way to pretty to eat. Martha Stewart has nothing on these. Cookie decorating is a true talent.

    WOW! Those are gorgeous….way to pretty to eat. Martha Stewart has nothing on these. Cookie decorating is a true talent. The plates are adorable by themselves…love to know where to pick those up. Are they vintage?

    max

    They are so pretty, that seem to be unreal! I don’t know if I would eat them or rather use as a decoration:)

    tess

    Thanks, everybody! These cookies have been a dream of mine for a long time, so it’s thrilling to share them with y’all!

    Debra- I had the cookie cutters custom-made (by hand!) by http://www.coppergifts.com- you just send in a line drawing. They were awesome to work with, so helpful to a cookie cutter novice like me!

    Jennifer & Ari- the plates are by Oakland ceramics darling Whitney Smith http://www.whitneysmithpottery.com. All of her pieces are gorgeous!

    linda

    those are beyond cute – seriously a 10+ I hope you made enough to go around!! love em

    corinne

    Just to beautiful to eat these cookies…. well not so sure I could resist ?!
    I’m counting the days before having a good excuse to go back to SFO and pay a visit (s) to Miette ;)

    elsa

    these are just beautiful … totally impressed with the art of cookie making!

    Emily Jeffords

    wow… these are the cutest, most beautiful cookies I’ve seen for a long time! Adorable…
    thanks for all the great links too!

    Katherine

    I have long loved that wallpaper and even emailed to ask where it came from, but never heard back. Thanks for sourcing it! Those cookies look adorable!

    Cath

    Absolutely gorgeous… totally inspired to get kicking on a new range of gift cards with a similar colour palette.

    I love Miette…I live in SF and I can’t pass by this adorable shop without getting a treat…which always makes me soooo happy. And, now I want to make some pretty cookies to give away! Thanks!

    J-Ho

    That Jeff Gosche is a WIZARD with icing! They are truly works of edible art. But unlike others, i CAN eat them!! YUM!

    tess

    J-Ho, thanks for giving Jeff a shout-out! He’s a genius, & I tell him that at least once a week. He’s even teaching a cookie-decorating class at Miette!
