bride cookie

I just returned from Elk River where  I attended a bridal shower for my sister Rita's daughter, Jenni. My youngest sister, Marlene, baked and decorated the absolute cutest bride cookies. She cut the cookie using a dress-shaped cookie cutter, spread it with icing, fashioned the skirt overlay from rolled fondant to give it dimension, tucked tulle underneath the overlay to make it look even more like a bride's attire, then embellished it with several "dragee" (pronounced dra-ZHAY) to simulate pearl buttons. She packaged each dress in a little cardboard box with a see-through window... similar to what dry cleaners do to preserve a bride's dress so it doesn't turn yellow over time. Each shower guest received a bride cookie as a memento of the occasion. Don't you agree it is just the cutest, most clever cookie you have ever set your eyes upon??!!
