Ingredients

  • 5 sprigs of edible gold glitter spray
  • 1 waffle ice cream cone
  • 1 blue writing icing
  • 1 small handful of candyfloss
  • 1 small handful of edible silver balls
  • 1 small handful of sugar flowers and leaves
  • 1 splash of blue food colouring
  • 1 splash of yellow food colouring
  • 1 tsp of pink glimmer sugar
  • 400 g of buttercream flavour frosting
  • 1 splash of pink food colouring
  • 1 belgian white chocolate easter egg
  • 1 marshmallow

Method

  1. Step 1

    To make the unicorn horn, use a small knife trim the base of the waffle ice cream cone to make a 10cm horn shape. Spray all over with gold glitter spray. Then Set aside.
  2. Step 2

    To make the ears, cut the marshmallow in half diagonally. Sprinkle the cut side with pink glimmer sugar. Set aside.
  3. Step 3

    Divide the buttercream flavour frosting between 3 small bowls and beat in a few drops of blue, yellow or pink food colouring into each.
  4. Step 4

    Fit a star nozzle to a disposable piping bag and spoon alternate teaspoonfuls of the frosting into the bag to create a rainbow effect.
  5. Step 5

    Remove the egg from the packaging but leave it sitting upright on the plastic base.
  6. Step 6

    Using the blue writing icing tube, pipe eyelashes on the front of the egg.
  7. Step 7

    Pipe a swirl of frosting on the top of the egg and gently press the horn and ears into the frosting.
  8. Step 8

    Pipe more of the frosting in swirls and blobs around the horns and ears. Don’t pipe too far down the back of the egg or it will topple over. You will have some frosting left in the piping bag you can use this to decorate smaller eggs in the same way, if liked.
  9. Step 9

    Dot the piped frosting with silver balls and decorate with a sugar flower. Carefully place in the fridge and leave for 1 hour to allow the frosting to set firmly.
  10. Step 10

    Just before serving, cover the plastic base the egg is sitting on with fluffy clumps of candy floss and decorate with more sugar flower and leaves, if liked.
