The Pittsburgh Cookie Table
Originating during the Great Depression, when couples rarely had the money for a wedding cake, family members would bring homemade treats to fill the dessert void.
The tradition has evolved and stuck from generation to generation, making it a staple for a Pittsburgh wedding.
We are SO excited to be able to take part in hosting our very own cookie table and adding a bit of a twist.
See details below!
Calling all bakers: both professional and hobby
This is not a requirement for everyone, but we would love if you, our guests, help us fill the cookie table!
There are a few logistics to keep in mind:
-
Please let us know what you are planning to bring no later than March 31, 2026 as we will be making id cards for each item
-
Please share any allergens that may be in your treat (Nuts, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs) as we have some guests that will need to be aware. NOTE: if you're not sure, please share the recipe- we can figure it out for you!
-
Store-bought is absolutely welcome!
Have a favorite bakery where you live and want to share? Or want to explore one of the wonderful options Pittsburgh has to offer? We're down, just let us know! -
Now here's our twist: we are welcoming quick breads (Banana bread, Lemon Loafs, etc.) and brownies in addition to cookies!
-
Please note: anticipate baking ​​​​between 4-6 dozen cookie
