icing biscuits to look like pigs! help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[eleanorsmum]

Ok so I'm doing a toddler craft tom and we're doing pigs! so i thought we'd ice biscuits as a treat! pink icing, pink small marshmallow for the nose but......................need suggestions for the ears and eyes - some kind of sweet would be easiet me think but having a mental sweetie block help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Cut the marshmallows into half for ears.

Silver balls for eyes.

Oh and stick a cocktail stick in some cochineal and prick the nose twice for nostrils.

Or white choc buttons for eyes? Um, something pink for ears

silver balls not really ok for really little toddlers?

but like the idea of sticking red food dye in for nostrils - a cute effect!

Oh no, of course they aren't!

ooh yes choc drops might work, the ones you buy from supercook for cookies (lots in packet too so keeps cost down)

ok so eyes done now ears.........................

just to let you know, anyone who helped me out last night, these went downa treat! everyone very impressed! i even found small lip shaped sweets that i cut in half to make ears, sort of little triangle shapes! I've now been comissioned to make a large batch for macmillan coffee morning on friday. well that's me and dd sorted for the enxt few days..............

excellent - welll done you
