4 slices sandwich bread or square crispbreads
200g cream cheese
2–3 drops each of natural blue, green and pink food colouring
Raspberry or blackcurrant coulis
1 pinch blue and green spirulina
1 pinch edible glitter

Method

1.

Toast the bread.
2.

Keep half the cream cheese plain and divide the rest into three, using the food colouring to create three different colours of cream cheese.
3.

Spread a layer of plain cream cheese on each toast, top with a layer of coloured cream cheese, then a few drops of rasberry or blackcurrant coulis or sprinkle with blue or green spirulina. Spread with a palette knife. Sprinkle with glitter and serve immediately!
