Minions Dress up time!!!

( This is my monthly english post, please forgive my grammar, spelling and all that, I'll try my best!!
I hope you can learn with me to dress up those cute little minions).

I am still having a "DESPICABLE ME"  moment…
You know how  funny it is sometimes when people love a movie and you don't and you are thinking really??...what is wrong with me?? I like it, but I didn't, LOVE IT.

Well I just think that is the state of mind you are in the moment that you watch the movie…don't you think??

I LOVE DESPICABLE ME 2!!…but don't tell my daughter and my husband that I did not LOVE, the first part, because they LOVED it!!! Any how…I am listening the  soundtrack of the movie, and it  is very  very good and is inspiring me to write this post.

Since I was a little girl I LOVE Paper dolls and dressing them up, and making little paper dresses and all that.. this time I will be dressing up some minions, I hope you liked them!!!

You need to star with a basic minion cookie, you can see all the instructions here  MINION COOKIE .  The eyes will be as the basic minion, do not pipe the arms, legs and the overall, it will change a little bit in each minion.

3. With firm white royal icing and tip # 1,  make the little ruffle on the edge of the apron and the little bow tie.

( I forgot how you said that in English ).

5. Pipe the border of the arms with white soft icing using tip#2,  thin some yellow icing  and flood them with  yellow icing, use a toothpick to guide the icing to the borders and tap the cookie on the palm of your hands and pop any bubbles using the toothpick. 

6. With white soft royal icing using tip # 2  outline the border of the legs.
Thin some of the white icing and flood the legs and pop any bubbles as in step #5.

1. Start with your basic minion and do just one eye on his face,  using soft royal icing and tip # 2, outline the border of pants and the scarf,   using blue flooding icing fill up  the pants  and flood the scarf with white flooding icing. 

2. Prepare red flooding royal icing, cover it and set a side.

4. With firm orange royal icing, and tip # 42, make the hair, like this tip make two lines of icing, squeeze and make two lines, and then place the tip in between the lines you piped to fill up the spaces and try to form like a pony tail with a bun and let it dry.
