As I was writing the supply list for this watermelon dress cookie tutorial, I was bummed to realize that this dress cookie cutter was nowhere to be found online!
I was pretty sure it was an Ann Clark shape. They checked the factory to see if they had it, but no such luck. I’ll keep searching!
UPDATE: The dress cookie cutter has been located! It’s from American Tradition Cookie Cutters. Thanks to Baked Blessings on Instagram for helping me find it.
In the meantime, check out Ann Clark Cookie Cutters online shop or Amazon to see other dress cookie cutter options.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Watermelon Dress Cookie (and teeny tiny watermelon slice cookies, too!)
These supplies are available in my Amazon Store unless otherwise noted.
- Chilled sheet of cookie dough (my recipe is available in the tutorial shop)
- 1-¼” round cookie cutter
- Dress cookie cutter
- Flood consistency royal icing in light green, white, pink, black, teal, and yellow
- Stiff consistency royal icing in white
- Tipless decorating bags for flood consistency icing
- 12” decorating bag for stiff consistency icing
- Coupler
- Decorating tip 101 for piping the ruffles
- Decorating tip 3 for piping the dots
- Bag ties
- Scribe tool
- Strong vodka or grain alcohol (I use alcohol when I paint on royal icing because it evaporates very quickly, which means that the liquid won’t dissolve the icing.)
- Chefmaster Golden Yellow food coloring for painting the shadows on the dress
- Decorator brush (I used one from the Wilton 5 piece set)
- Paint palette or small dish for mixing the food coloring and vodka
Icing Colors (I used Chefmaster)
- Green = Neon Green + a touch of Leaf Green
- Pink = Rose Pink + A touch of Tulip Red
- Teal = Teal Green
- Yellow = Lemon Yellow + Golden Yellow
- Black = Black Diamond
