Wednesday night we celebrated the opening of The Assembled Parties at Manhattan Theatre Club to rave reviews! I am so proud to be a part of this production, and was so excited to give everyone a sweet opening night treat. I created two designs significant to the show.
In both acts, Julie Bascov (Jessica Hecht) is hosting Christmas dinner for her family.
Once a film actress herself, she is also the daughter of a famous clothing designer,
and she enjoys wearing her mother's designs on special occasions.
She unveils a beautiful gold dress in Act 2, stating,
"This was my favorite of her dresses because I watched her make it,"
before delivering a beautiful speech about her mother and her talents.
I knew I had to recreate this gorgeous gown in cookie form!
You can see Jessica in her dress, and other fancy opening night pics here.
The story also revolves around a ruby necklace that Julie's mother-in-law presented to her on her wedding day, and which Faye (Judith Light), Julie's sister-in-law has long desired for herself.
We never actually see this coveted necklace,
so I was left to my own devices to create the edible version.
The cookies, like the show, were a hit!
Here are some lovely members of this incredible cast about to enjoy their cookies!
Jeremy Shamos, Judith Light, Jessica Hecht, and me! :)
