Instructions

  • Combine purple food coloring with the decorator icing, stirring until the desired shade is reached.
    16 oz Decorators Icing, neon purple food coloring
  • Prepare a pastry bag by attaching a round piping tip and then loading it with the purple icing.
  • Download, print, and cut the bat template. Optionally, outline it onto parchment paper and set it at the middle of your presentation board.
  • Use the icing to sketch the bat's outline, either guided by the template or by freehand. Proceed to fill in the bat silhouette completely.
  • Level out the iced bat using an offset spatula, making any necessary shape corrections.
  • Position the candy eyes on the bat, sketch a small mouth, and fashion two fangs from a mini marshmallow, situating them beneath the mouth.
