🔪How to Make This Unicorn Party Food Idea
Yields: 12 decorated cereal treats
Line a working surface or a baking sheet with wax paper. Roll white fondant into half-inch spheres.
Roll each sphere into thin, long strips (about 4 inches long) then fold slightly. Start wrapping both ends and twist: this will form your unicorn horn. Place gently on wax paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave candy melts and coconut oil in 30-second intervals.
Once completely melted, dip each cereal treat and coat completely.
Gently place on wax paper and place one fondant horn on each treat. Let set completely, about 15 minutes.
Use your food marker to shape out the eyelids and eyelashes of your unicorn treats. Trace over with black frosting.
Using Wilton tip #18, pipe out pink flowers around your unicorns’ horns with the pink frosting.
