Unicorn Project - Plaque

Today's unicorn cookies is inspired by a unicorn night light that my mom made for me.  My mom painted ceramics every Wednesday night when I was younger.  It was her one night away from me and my sisters.  She made me many ceramic unicorns most of them didn't survive.  They ended up broken and I was in tears.  Part of the night light she made in 1992 is still here.  There was a lid with little star shaped holes, but it was broken.  The remaining portion (pictured below) now sits on my dresser. 

I used a plaque cutter to create these cookies.  I piped and flooded the purple like my night light.  Then I painted the edge of the cookie gold.  I drew the unicorn on with a food coloring marker then piped over it with white icing.  To replicate my night light, I painted the horn gold and added some royal icing roses.  To add dimension to the unicorn, I painted with purple food coloring around the creases.  I added a small blue dot of the eye and some disco dust on the mane and tail.
