Magical UNICORN Tutorial!

I love unicorns. I have always loved unicorns. I cannot express how excited I was when unicorns became cool and fashionable. When I found out that Chef Nicholas was developing a mold for unicorn horns and ears, I knew that whatever design he was planning was going to be amazing! I was not disappointed! Chef Nicholas designed a simple, yet completely adorable unicorn that can easily be used on any sweet treat you have in mind!

The days of extruding pieces of equally sized pieces of gumpaste logs are over. The days of rolling uneven gumpaste logs are over. Just cram some gumpaste into Chef Nicholas’ handy dandy unicorn mold, and voila! Perfect horns EVERY SINGLE TIME! And those ears… perfect. If you need to make a whole lot of unicorns, then these two molds will really simplify your life. Oh, and if you want to make a whole bunch of THESE particular unicorns (which are the perfect size for cookies or cupcakes), then today is your lucky day! Chef Nicholas has given me the green light to share his directions!

I’m not at liberty to share any details yet, but Chef Nicholas and the Katy Sue Designs team are working together on a really exciting project. I am hoping to be able to announce the news here on the blog in a few weeks! Make sure you stay tuned for the big news! ;)
