Cookie Design Practice #1: The Little Black Dress


I attended a friend's wedding last month and I saw one of her friends, a girl wearing a pretty black dress. Cielo and I wondered how the skirt beautifully ballooned. My guess is that she's wearing a petticoat under it but... hindi a uso ang petticoat ngayon.

Anyway, this inspired me to do a "cookie version" of the dress.

I don't like how the it turned out but I guess you won't always get it right the first few times.
For my first attempt I made to piping the dots. However, I got so impatient I checked in on it every few moments or so. What happened then almost made me throw the cookie to the garbage bin... I got clumsy I nearly dropped it. Good news is that I didn't drop it. Bad news - it broke into two and many dots got rearranged! Aaarghhh, I have to do it again!


The dress as I remembered it didnt have shoulder straps but I think it adding the straps would be a nice deviation from the original design.

After baking the cookie I prepared the black royal icing so I can pipe the borders.

Then comes the fun part - flooding the cookie. Here, I added a bit of water to the royal icing to make it "runny" and poured some into the cookie. Using a toothpick, I gently made round strokes to fill the empty spaces.

Polkadots!!!


Lastly, I added the belt. I nice contrast to black and white.


Still happy cupcaking! (But currently on cookie mode)
