Fall Dress Cookies with Royal Icing Roses and Chrysanthemums

A set of cookies decorated to look like fall dresses. The cookies are decorated in black and white stripes with pink royal icing roses and golden yellow royal icing chrysanthemums. They are on a transparent light green cake plate with a lace pattern over a golden yellow background.

As my friends Haniela’s and Montreal Confections have shown us, there so many designs you can make with a candy corn cookie cutter! They inspired me to create these fall dress cookies with royal icing roses and chrysanthemums using the candy corn shape.
