Happy Unicorn Day

When I saw it was National Unicorn Day

coming up, I knew I wanted to make these

fun Unicorn Donuts.  It was a day for playing

in the kitchen.

Last year we did a big unicorn party

for two of the little granddaughters

starting with this cake I made.

Unicorn bags with goodies to take home,

and Unicorn Bark

made for a fun party.

Jacquelyn even wore a unicorn tee.

I started by winding fondant around a

skewer, letting it dry and painting it with

gold lustre mixed with lemon extract.  I

did the same for the ears. 

I used fondant molds to create little

flowers in pink, aqua and purple, and 

added a couple of swirls of colored frosting.

The donuts were dipped in thinned icing that I added

about a teaspoon of white food coloring to.

I cut the skewers leaving about an inch to stick

it into the donut.  I broke toothpicks in half and

"glued" them on with frosting.  I finished with

drawing on the eyelashes with an edible marker.

  I rushed it a little with the marker, as the frosting

wasn't quite hard enough.  Next time I would

wait a little more.  Try testing the marker on

a donut and wait if the marker breaks the

surface of the frosting.

I don't usually get into all of the "Days" out 

there, but with Unicorns, I couldn't help myself!

Thanks for coming to visit!  Hope you had

a wonderful day, whether you are celebrating

anything or not!
