hello,
I am planning on making a cake for my daughter's birthday and she would like a unicorn design. I was thinking about using a pastry bag with frosting to "free form" the unicorn. Any suggestions on how to do this? I don't have much experience working with frosting/piping designs.

I also considered using a mold to create a chocoate "shape" and then frosting that by tracing the outline. Comments on that approach? thanks

thanks for your help

A frozen buttercream transfer seams like it would work perfectly. Wilton actually has a pretty good video tutorial. Use a template like Jan suggested and do it in the transfer. Easey Peasey! Good Luck!
