So, before you get started you should know a few things about these... They are TRICKY, somewhat unpredictable and I had to redo this whole recipe three times before I got a method down that worked for me. The real bonus I found is you can make these at least a month in advance and freeze them until ready to use. So if you're going to try them, have plenty of time set aside and know they can be frustrating. The best way to do these is to create the dead dough (dough that's free of leavening agents) first, cutout and create your lady bug skins and faces and set them aside (covered airtight) until your dough balls have risen and are ready to be covered. I found decorating and baking them one at a time worked best and I made a total of 12 with this recipe
