Eventually the dollies will beg for chocolate cake so you might as well plan to make one. In addition to seeking just the right shade of dark brown flannel, brushed cotton or wool, you will want to go treasure hunting for color coordinated small flowers/ berries… to decorate with — and try to find the wonderful new glues that have glitter in them.

Use it– not as glue, but as sumptuous icing glaze! If perhaps you’d rather have non-glitter, look for the small bottles of fabric squeeze paint. Some will even puff up as they dry.

Have fun!
