Sugary Halloween Picks

Halloween is right around the corner! I can't wait! We are all excited...

I have been so inspired by the GREAT blogs I have been reading with really cool Halloween ideas. So, I thought I would join in on the fun and create something really EASY, (there I go again) and a fun activity to do as a family.

Check out my Sugared Fondant Halloween Picks! EASY, guys. I swear!

Along with these basic supplies: small paintbrush, rolling pin, work mat & Styrofoam, you'll need:

• 5oz. - Fondant, found at cake supply stores, in white or pre-colored
• Mini cookie cutters in Halloween shapes
• Colored sanding sugar
• Toothpick or short bamboo skewers
• Lemon extract or vodka (do not use water)
• Kids (optional..)

Prepare your mat with cornstarch. Roll out fondant to 1/4" or desired thickness.

Prepare your cutter with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Cut out desired shapes in the rolled fondant.

Set aside fondant shapes to dry. Give it a good 30 minutes.

Stick toothpicks into dry fondant and set into Styrofoam to hold.

Pour lemon extract or vodka into a small bowl. If using vodka, please refrain from taking a shot! Do not use water. It takes a while to dry and will soften your fondant shapes. Using your paintbrush, paint a thin layer of the lemon or vodka onto your shapes. While wet, sprinkle on your sanding sugar. Set back into Styrofoam to dry. You can also make little eyes with royal icing or from small balls of fondant.

It's that SIMPLE, peeps. You can have the kiddies have fun cutting out the shapes and pouring on the sugar!

Have fun!!
