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!
