writing tips large round tip, writing tip, basket weave tip
2 piping bags
2 couplers for piping tips
1 9x13 inch baking pan
mixing bowls, measuring tools, and utensils
- 1 box Betty Crocker Original Brownie Mix
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp. water
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup frosting white
- 1 tsp. black gel approximate
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup frosting chocolate
Mix the brownie mix, egg, water, and oil
Spread the batter into a rectangular pan that has been lined with parchment paper
Bake until cooked through and set out to cool for about an hour
Once the brownie has completely cooled, pull the parchment paper up to lift the brownie out of the pan
If you can, then pull the parchment paper off of the bottom of the brownie
Making the Eye
Cut the tip off of the marshmallow about 1/4 inch deep
To that, use frosting to attach the green M&M into the center and then dot a black dot of gel onto the M&M
Now you can start to decorate the brownie
Mix as much black gel as you need into your white frosting to make a silver color
Attach the basket weave tip to a piping bag and fill it with the silver frosting
Silver Decorations
Make a line going down the left side of the book
Replace the tip with the large round tip
Make a wavy snake on top of the line you just made and add some curves to the other 2 corners of the book
*Note - The Hocus Pocus books actually has curled up snakes in the other 2 corners. I did not want to make the book that complicated so I kept it simple with some curved lines
Stitches
Now, add about 1/4 of the chocolate frosting into a piping bag that has been fitted with a writing tip
Use the writing tip to make stitches around the book
