Little Black Dresses

A beautiful little black dress cookie is featured in Peggie Porschen’s decorating book “Simply Spectacular Cakes” and was my mom’s inspiration for the cookies above (please ignore the wrinkled paper ;) ). Although she does not have the exact same cookie cutter as used in the book, she improvised with the dress cutter that we do have for the moment. We hope to acquire this cutter soon.

Per the recommendations of The Sleep Lady in her book,  I started singing a lullaby to Baby Girl to cue her that it was bedtime/naptime.
