I've Done It Again

I've opened my big fat gob without really thinking about the words that pouring out.

There's a charity that is very close to my heart - CWAC (Children With AIDS Charity). It was co-founded by a family friend, Rebecca Handel. Please, do visit their website: http://www.cwac.org/

Anyway, in September, CWAC are hosting a ball. Very posh. Tickets are out of my price range. MIL is a trustee, so she's going. Her best friends are patrons, so they're going. Lots and lots of famous people are going. Anyway, without really thinking it through, I phoned my MIL today and offered to make a cookie for each place setting at the ball... I have a cookie cutter that is the shape of the AIDS awareness ribbon (or, if you decorate it in pink, it could be for breast cancer awareness... but you know the shape I mean).

Then I found out there will be between 350 and 400 place settings.

Eeeek. OMG!!!! What have I done?

MIL's friend was over the moon with the offer, but she has to put it to the committee and also get the OK from The Dorchester, where the ball is being held (they may object to 'outside food' being brought in). She asked if I can have a sample with her by Monday, when she'll be at the next meeting. Hubby is seeing his mum on Wednesday, so I'll have it ready by then.

If I do do them, because of time constraints, I will sugarpaste them. Royal icing looks SO, SO much nicer, but I don't think I'll be able to do that many. Shame.
