"Elsa's Ice" Rock Candy



Disney's Frozen II is coming out in theaters this week! Elsa's Ice Candy is perfect to make for a Disney's Frozen themed Party or just for fun. I made this for a fun treat for my kids and they loved in.



Ingredients:
  • 1-3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • Food Coloring 
  • 1/2 tsp. Flavoring
  • Powdered Sugar for coating
*Other materials you will need include a sauce pan, baking sheet, and candy thermometer. 

Directions:
  1. Lightly spray a baking sheet or place a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet. 
  2. Add sugar, corn syrup, and water to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Once it is boiling you can stop stirring. Let it keep boiling until it reaches 300℉ on your candy thermometer. 
  3. Once the temperature reaches 300℉ remove it from the heat. Working quickly, add the food coloring and flavor. I used strawberry flavor and a few drops of blue gel food coloring, so it ended up tasting like cotton candy. Stir quickly and pour onto your prepared baking sheet. Tip the sheet frpm side to side to help spread the candy and tap the sheet lightly to remove bubbles. 
  4. Allow the candy to cool and harden completely, about 30 minutes.
  5. Flip the baking sheet over to remove the candy. Use a hammer or something sturdy to break your candy into desired size pieces. 
  6. Coat your candy pieces in powdered sugar. This will stop it from being sticky. If you want cleaner or more clear looking pieces, use a lint free cloth to rub some of the powdered sugar off. 
  7. Keep in an air tight container. Enjoy!

Tips/variations:
*You can make your candy any color or flavor. This could be an easy treat to add to any themed party. I love to have red cinnamon candy during the holidays.  
*Be careful when breaking the candy, it will be a little sharp.

Unicorn Ice Cream Cone Cakes





Unicorn Cone Cakes


Ingredients:
  • 24 Ice Cream Cones
  • 1 box of Cake Mix and Ingredients Listed on Box
  • 2 Tubs of White or Vanilla Frosting
  • Food Coloring Gel
  • Frosting Piping Bag and Large Star Tip
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Pink Sugar Sprinkles
  • Starburst Unicorn Horns
Directions:
  1. Preheat over and prepare the cake mix according to the box. 
  2. Place the cones in muffin pans. Use foil if needed to keep the cones from tipping over, or just have a steady hand when moving the pans. 
  3. Fill each cone leaving at least 1/2 inch of space from the top of the cone. This will give the cake batter space to rise. I learned this the hard way. 
  4. Bake the cake for about 12-15 minutes Keep an eye on the cake and check it to see if it is baked through. It could take more or less time depending on the mix you have. 
  5. Move cone cakes to a cooling rack. 
  6. Prepare your frosting. Separate the white frosting into 3rds, keeping one 3rd white. Using food coloring turn one 3rd pink and the other purple. Using the gel color will keep the frostings consistency, if you use liquid it could make the frosting runny. 
  7. Make sure your tip is in the piping bag. Scoop the frosting into the bag switching colors with each scoop. Do not stir the colors together. As you squeeze the frosting out of the bag it will swirl together. 
  8. Top each of your cone cakes with frosting once they are cooled.
  9. Prepare your Unicorn Horns (click the link for the directions).
  10. Make the ear with the mini marshmallows. Cut one marshmallow in half diagonally along the side with a clean scissors. Dip the sticky parts in sugar sprinkles. 
  11. Place the horn in the center of the frosted cones and then the ears on each side of the horn. 
  12. Use a cake pan with a sheet of colored tissue paper laid in it to hold the cones. 
  13. Enjoy!
