One of our good friends had a baby recently, so for her baptism, I wanted to make some little dresses to honor the occasion (in cookie form, of course). I had been very inspired by a post I saw on Pinterest (where else?). I'm not sure what language/country this is, but the cookies speak for themselves. I was overwhelmed at first by the many different variations, but I had such fun creating new designs with the simple color palette, I could see how this baker made so many varieties.
I first outlined and flooded the dresses all in white. I added another layer of white outline to help make the shape stand out. I was impressed with how different each dress looked even though I was using only white, pink, and a bit of green. Additionally, all the designs were created by simply varying the placement of ruffles, dots, roses, sashes, and waistlines. I think the combinations are endless.
To pull together all the different dress designs, I decided to create a monogram using the wet-on-wet technique for making roses as a background (just as I had done with these baby onesie cookies.)
For the mini option, I chose simple pink hearts.
Although I was happy with how they turned out, I was kicking myself for running out of pink party plates (or any color for that matter). We were leaving the platter at the celebration, so my go-to platter wasn't available. That meant, a regular paper plate...
NOT my first choice, but what can you do?
Happy to celebrate with you, Makena!
