Unicorns make me happy. They're probably my favorite cookies to make.  If you haven't seen all my unicorns from last summer, go check out any of my unicorn project posts.

I was at church a few weeks ago and there was a guest priest speaking.  He started out by asking what the difference between faith and believing is?  Then he said, "you can believe in them [unicorns] but we all know they're not real."  I pretty much stopped listening to him at that point.  I think believing in something that makes you happy and brings a smile on your face is perfectly fine, whether it's real or not. 

I found this unicorn cutter here. There are some other really great unicorn cutters available too.  I used the birthday girl's favorite colors.  I had made her these cookies a couple years ago.  Her favorite color hasn't changed.  To get the bright pink and purple icing, I used Wilton food coloring.  I find Wilton pink and purples are better than Americolor.  I used gold luster dust to color the horns.  I drew the eyelashes and nostrils on with a fine tip black food coloring marker.

I hope Emalee had a great birthday!
