I feel a little guilty. This year, I’ve barely glanced at a bunny, a chick, an egg or a basket. I’ve been too busy thinking about what’s happening during the week that follows Easter.
THE ROYAL WEDDING!!!!
I’m just gaga over the royals, as I’m sure I’ve told you. And, the media’s attention to this event is fueling my royal giddiness! Royal wedding spectator parties will be abounding here in the states. You can get the cutest invitations to those weddings here! And, what’s a party without a themed cookie, I ask? That’s why I did these:
Word got out and the next thing I knew, on Friday morning I was delivering a group of these babies over to MSNBC’s Alex Witt for her Saturday morning segment on the Royal Wedding!!! Alex couldn’t have been friendlier, sweeter or more down-to-earth as we chatted in the lobby of 30 Rock. I practically wanted to hug and kiss her goodbye after we schmoozed about politics, news and, cookies, of course!
Early Saturday morning, this aired:
My phone started ringing at 8:00 a.m.! Crazy kindred royal wedding spirits all over the country were phoning! It was so exciting answering the calls and tweeting with my dear twitter friends while seeing this mind-blowing image across the screen:
It was a total out of body experience, I tell you. I still don’t think I’ve really took it all in. Even when Alex was touching the cookies, I still was in a state of disbelief:
Are you planning a party? Having guests over in their jammies to watch the telly? Tell me what your own plans are for this glorious day.
We’ll be having scones and clotted cream, coffee and, cookies, of course!
Note: special royal thanks to Katherine O’Hara for the extra special royal screenshots.
This is fabulous Gail! YOU are Cookie Royalty and I’m so happy for you for all this very well deserved attention. Congratulations!
Paula, you’re the best! Thank you so much!!!
Love your Royal Wedding COOKIES, Gail! I remember Prince Charles’ Wedding to Lady Diana, I was a teenager and we had Tea Breakfast in Bed hehe… loved it! My children are not into Royalty but I guess I’ll do the same this time…
Say, isn’t it nice that Wills and Kate picked my birthday for their wedding day! I’ll be up at 2:00 am just like my Mom and I did for Charles and Diana…Then off to Camp Blogaway for a foodbloggers’ weekend.
So great! I especially love onetoughcookienyc.com being on air for about 80% of the segment! You’re truly an example of great things happening to great people when they are passionate and work hard at something:)
Paula hit the nail on the head. The Queen Cookie! I was especially pleased to see how long they had your domain name displayed…actually long enough that someone could have time to write it down…yeah!!
All Hail the Queen (that’s you my dear!).
Ahh!! I saw these on TV!! My husband was watching the news and said, you’ve got to look at this! Yes, we’re big fans of the Royals. We lived in England in 2004 and have been hooked ever since. My mother-in-law is hosting a tea party/breakfast viewing party. We can’t wait!
I loved watching that segment! I am so excited for you — and PROUD. I just feel so darned proud of you. Congrats!
Gail….these cookies are FABULOUS!!! Just as royal as the wedding itself will be, I’m sure! I hope Kate and Wills see them!
OMG! They are super gorgeous!! I love them so much!
I am really late to be commenting on this, but just wanted to say how much I LOVE these cookies… Glad they are such a hit.
How clever you are! I’m not at all surprised you were a big hit on the news. I wish I were close enough to see them all in person! It’s a long, long walk from Australia but my heart’s with you.
love your cookies, but as a Brit – you really can’t have scones, cream & jam with COFFEE!!! What are you thinking? It has to be tea or champagne!! x
