How to make Unicorn Poop Cookies
Stop everything you're doing right now and read the most important blog post you may read ever!
Like, ever, in your whole life!
I know I have always wanted to know this and never thought the day would come that I would actually find out that this was possible.
But it is,
really it is!
All your dreams are answered when you read on and find out...
How to Make Unicorn Poop Cookies
Incredients:
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp. lemon flavour or 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups of flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
Fun stuff:
- Disco Dust, Rainbow
- Wilton's Sparkle Gel, white
- Edible Rainbow Glitter
- Multi Coloured Sprinkles
- Food Coloring, Standard & Neon
Method:
- Mix together the shortening, sugar, eggs and your choice of flavour in a large mixing bowl
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt
- Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix well.
- Separate the dough into many different balls of dough - colour each with a different food colouring and place in fridge for 1 hour.
- Take coloured dough balls out of the fridge and roll them into long 'snake' like shapes (be sure to put some extra flour on your bench top to avoid sticking!)
- Cut each 'snake' into shorter lengths and line up several snakes (of different colours) next to each other
- Gently twist and mould into 'poop' shape. Be gentle - they're very delicate!
- Pop into a moderate oven and bake until cooked
- Once out of the oven you can add the fun stuff! If adding pearls you'll need to push these into the cookies before they harden. Otherwise wait until they're cooled and brush over a coating of Wiltons Sparkle Gel (to give that nice 'fresh poop' sheen!) and sprinkle with glitter, stars - the works!
Enjoy!

Introducing Namiko Bamboo Womenswear!
Birdmotel are thrilled to be introducing a new brand to our collection this month
A certified bamboo fabric fashion label from designer Nazrina Hamid-Hnatko
The gorgeous Nazrina!
Launched in Sydney in 2012, the Namiko aesthetic is a contemporary, minimalist look and is crafted in this incredible certified bamboo cotton.
Each piece is specifically designed to be incredibly comfortable and wearable, but with a unique cut that is flattering on all body shapes. Designer Nazrina focuses her designs on ease of movement with classic, effortless shapes that can be dressed up or down by pairing with casual or bold accessories.
We can see this gorgeous navy blue Amy dress looking just as amazing with leopard print flats for lunch with friends. But you could just as easily pair it with a bold metallic necklace and heels for a killer date-night outfit. Feel like adding a pop of colour? The Navy is an amazing base for turquoise blues or bold oranges - almost any colour goes with Navy!
We can't decide which look we like best! What do you think?

Pop of Colour:
Bamboo fabric is simply amazing! It is naturally soft and the non-irritating smooth fibres means it's ideal for those with sensitive skin.
The weight of the fabric lends itself perfectly to beautiful draping and feels lovely to wear. Plus it has a subtle natural sheen so it always looks and feels just that little bit special.
One interesting fact is that bamboo is a natural microbial agent, which means bacteria does not cultivate on the fibres - so you can be assured that even when rushing around during a hectic day - you're always going to feel (and smell!) clean, and cool as a cucumber!
Plus it has unique thermal properties that make it warm in the cooler months, yet cool in the warmer months - meaning you can wear your Namiko Bamboo Womenswear all year round. And it has natural UV protection - amazing!
Want to see what we mean? Then order your own style from the Namiko Bamboo Womenswear range at Birdmotel today!

The We Are Handsome story...
Launched out of Sydney in 2009 by the incredibly talented creative, Jeremy Jules Somers, We Are Handsome's first range swept the fashion industry off it's feet. Jeremy's unique mix of gorgeous fabrics and striking prints created a swimwear range like no one had ever seen before.
These amazing designs were quickly swept up by major international retailers like Barneys, Selfridges, Opening Ceremony and more, and We Are Handsome was released into the world.
The brand was soon a celeb favourite with everyone from Beyonce and Katy Perry to Miranda Kerr, Rita Ora, and Tyra Banks snapping up swimsuits for themselves, as well as their on stage and editorial collections.
Rihanna is a massive fan and even commissioned her own custom We Are Handsome piece!
What Birdmotel love about We Are Handsome (aside from their incredible designs of course!) is that they remain committed to the Australian fashion industry with every piece made right here in Australia.
Once you slip into a We Are Handsome swimsuit you'll feel empowered, beautiful and confident, and we know you'll be a WAH fan for life!
