How to make a cute Unicorn reindeer topper
Edibles needed:
- White Pettinice
- Green Pettinice
- Chocolate Pettinice
- Red Pettinice
OPTIONAL
- Black edible paint or marker
- Gold edible paint or powder with Rose Spirit for painting
- Tylose powder (if you are making large versions)
- Pink dust for blush
Tools needed
- Sharp knife
- Star plunger (optional)
- Mini leaf plunger
These are the basic shapes you will need to roll out for the Reindeer.
Join all the pieces together using damp paintbrush, or edible glue.
Roll out your chocolate Pettinice for the mane. You can make a lighter shade by adding white fondant.
Top tip: Add 1 teaspoon of Tylose powder to 250g of Pettinice to help your figurine set hard if you want to make large toppers. You can also use a wooden skewer to support the head and stick the figurine into a cake. If you are making mini versions for cupcakes, you can leave out the tylose powder. It's up to you!
Using a damp brush or edible glue, stick the mane in place. You can add optional unicorn horn to the front!
Roll out three red balls for the nose and mistletoe. Use your small leaf and star plungers.
Attach everything in place with damp paintbrush or edible glue.
Finish your piece by adding a bit of blush on the cheeks. Use an edible marker to draw your eyes on the unicorn, as it’s quick and easy.
