Happy Fourth of July!  Unicorns love  July 4th because it's one of the few days a year we can all get along.  So naturally I incorporated a Fourth of July theme into my unicorn project.  

To create these patriotic unicorns, I used this cookie cutter.  I piped and flooded the cookie with white icing.   Once the icing was dry, I took red, white, and blue icing and swirled it together for the mane.  I iced the horn with white icing then when it dried, I painted it with gold airbrush sheen.  Then I piped white icing lines on the horn and covered the lines with patriotic nonpareils.  I added a black dot for the eye.  The rest of the facial features were drawn on with a food coloring marker.

You may be saying, "where are the tradition Fourth of July cookies?"  I did squeeze in one.  The inspiration for this cookie came form this image I found on Pinterest.  I like the stripes and the use of script writing.  I felt the design could easily translate into cookie form.  I used this cookie cutter to make it.  I piped and flooded the cookie with white icing.  When the icing was dry, I used this stencil to airbrush the stripes.  Then I used a food coloring marker to write the words.  It's hard to create the "thicks and thins" of script writing with icing, but I tried my best.
