Cinnacritters

The original instructions suggested unrolling the dough, but that didn't work very well for me. Instead, I used kitchen scissors to cut along the seams.

Form the unrolled dough into a dough "rope."

Cut a piece of dough from the rope and place it on a cookie sheet. Pinch two rolls into wing shapes, then press these wings onto each side of the straight piece (the body).

Bake your cinnacritters at 400 degrees for 13 to 17 minutes. Here's a baked cinnabunnerfly, waiting for its finishing touches.

Spread icing on the wings, then add sprinkles.

Cut two antennae from gummy candies, such as these green sour punch bites. Use a toothpick to poke small holes in the head, then insert the antennae.

Put dabs of icing below the antennae and add two dark sprinkles for eyes.

To make a cinnapuppy, use a dough rope to form droopy ears. Add jelly beans for eyes, nose and mouth, and a gummy Lifesaver collar.
