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!

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.
