They are very pretty. Someone clearly went through a lot of effort to make them look that nice.
If it brought them joy, great. But it won't give me extra joy to eat ones that look like that.
So, to me, it's about whether the baker thought it was worth their time.
It's all about the artwork. The biscuits are merely the canvas, which is how I'd suspect it would taste. They're literally too pretty to eat. A feast for the eyes!
Indeed, I was at a wedding this weekend with (very high-effort) personalized cookies. No one ate them after the first few were left on plates with one bite taken from them. Sad.
I bet they were lovely décor though. You wouldn't expect to eat your place cards.
Even if they started out as good cookies, the time necessary to do elaborate art on so many, transport, and have them in place at the tables, would ensure they're stale.
Well, in this case, it was the sugar/flour ratio that doomed it. The ratio was 1g sugar/1kg flour. There was no discernible fat used to make them. They were...sawdusty.....
Sounds like they'd be better crumbled up and mixed briskly into some whole milk.
