Christmas time.....umm I mean Thanksgiving. Yeah, right it’s Thanksgiving time. As someone who bakes constantly, Christmas is my favorite time of year, however I must contain myself from showing you all the Christmas things I’m designing.....I’m trying here. Not sure I’ll be able to contain myself too much longer.

So I’ll focus on something else cute......Like this dress cookie cutter from

Coppergifts

. Its item #1702. I buy the majority of my cooper cookie cutters from them. I really love the quality and all the cute designs they have.

When my dress cutter arrived, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with it. I mean, I knew I was going to make a dress, but I wasn’t sure what kind. Trust me when I say this cutter has endless possibilities. I started with one idea and it took off from there. I’m in the process of designing many dresses with this cutter. I'll show you soon!

I wish I could show them to you all at once, but then you might not come back to visit me.

Okay, okay, I know you’ll be back because y’all are nice and don’t want me to be lonely here in bloggerville. Hey, it does get lonely sometimes.

The first dress I made for you is......yep, Alice in Wonderland.

Wanna know a secret? Sure you do..... Okay, I’m going to show you how I made it. I know it’s really not a secret you knew I was going to tell you, because you know I love y’all...... and my momma taught me to share.....sometimes I even listened to her....like now.

The first tip I have for you, is ......PATIENCE....that’s right, patience. You have to let the icing dry in between the layers. Which is really a pain, unless you have one of those heat guns and know how to use it properly.

I have a heat gun, and I totally HATE it. It's in the box...and I'm seriously thinking of putting it in a giveaway. SERIOUSLY!

Okay, let me show you how to make the dress.

First thing I did was outline the dress with a sky blue royal icing and tip#2. Let that dry for about 30 minutes (drying time will vary on your location) Then fill with 15 second sky blue royal icing. Allow to dry 3-4 hours.

Then outline the collar and sleeves with 15-20 second white royal icing and fill with same icing. I didn’t let the outline sit on the collar. This helped with cratering or was totally coincidence. Add a sash with a #2 tip and white royal icing. Let dry about 3 hours.

Next, you will outline and fill the top of apron and allow to completely dry.

outline and fill top of apron. Let completely dry.

Then with a #00 tip make a scalloped edge around the entire apron with white royal icing.

Let completely dry and it's finished.

How do things work in your family? When you’re driving along in the car, do you have the driver picks the music, the passenger shuts his cake hole mentality? Or is it more like my way of doing things......Driver picks the music, IF the princess is driving....otherwise its the passenger picks the music. Basically it’s just I (the princess) picks the music. Hey, I can’t listen to stupid music.

Growing up it was ALL about the music. Was that way then and it’s that way now. It’s just one of the many things my father handed down to me I guess.

What kind of music do you all listen to? I’m all over the place with what I like. Everything I listen to has some sort of meaning to me. It’s not just music.

My music taste have a wide range from ....The Supremes, Styx, Journey.....to more current bands/groups like My Chemical Romance to SOME, I say SOME Slipknot.

I’ve tried all my life to pick a “favorite” song, but for the life of me I can’t.....there are just too many.

Well enough rambling.....let’s get on to the cookies that have nothing at all to do with music. Sorry I ramble, but you know you love me and you want to see my cute cookies.....right? You still here? Ohhhhh there you are. :) Okay right, cookies.....

To make these Scarecrow cookies I used a cupcake cookie cutter. Lately that's my one cookie I can use in another way other than a cupcake.....hey, baby steps here....baby steps.

First outline your cookie in dark brown royal icing using a #2 tip. Let dry about 30 minutes.
