Youngstown, Ohio area, the Wedding Cookie Table.
From our immigrant ancestors comes a lovely tradition. Those that came here in the early 20th century came from many different countries and brought with them many wonderful recipes and traditions. So when times were tough and money hard to come by, a wedding cake was often out of reach. So the local tradition developed for family and friends to step in and bring an amazing variety of homemade cookies to fill a table and serve at the wedding. This wonderful tradition has grown in popularity through the years and continues today as a way to show love for the newlyweds. It is something that is celebrated in the Youngstown, Ohio area at a wide variety of events. And today it is not only weddings where you will find a lavish and delicious cookie table! And we can't forget the pizzelles! Perfect idea for a smaller wedding. Check out Facebook for the Youngstown Cookie Table page where one can enjoy the creativity of our local home bakers!
