Step 2
To make the dough, tip the ground almonds and icing sugar into a bowl, add the egg whites and the almond extract and mix to a dough with your hands. Cover the bowl with cling film and chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight; or freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 4
To shape the rings that form the horn, measure out 18g of dough and shape it into a cigar shape with slightly tapered ends as per the template shape number 1. Place the cigar on a piece of baking paper placed over the template and press lightly on one side so that the cigar is slightly triangular when stood up. Make sure not to stretch the length of the cigar, as it must be the length on the template in order for all the rings to fit together. Press the ends together overlapping by 5mm to form a ring, and place on the baking sheet next to the ball.
Step 5
Continue weighing and shaping rings numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in exactly the same way as step 3, by weighing and moulding the correct weight and length according to the template. Place the rings on the baking sheet in size order for easy assembly.
Step 6
For ring number 9, which forms the rim of the horn, weigh out 84g of dough and shape it completely flat (not triangular) as per template number 9. Press the ends together overlapping by 5mm and place the ring on the baking sheet.
Step 7
For the stand (on which the horn sits), weigh out 50g of dough and shape it flat as per the template. Press the ends together overlapping by 5mm and place on the baking sheet.
Step 9
Temper the chocolate for decoration. Melt 225g of the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, until it reaches 44C/111F on the thermometer. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the remaining 75g of chocolate, stirring until the chocolate has melted and cooled to 32C/90F. Spoon the chocolate into the heat-resistant piping bag fitted with the writing nozzle.
Step 10
Place a sheet of acetate over the Chocolate Decorations Template and pipe chocolate scrolls over the top. You will need 6 large chocolate scrolls and 7 small chocolate scrolls, but pipe extra as they break easily. Leave to cool, then peel off the acetate. Place the decorations smooth side (the side that was on the acetate) facing upwards and pipe chocolate over the smooth side of the scrolls so they are thicker and so that they are shiny on both sides. Leave to set.
Step 11
For the icing, whisk the egg white in a large bowl until frothy. Gradually whisk in the icing sugar a spoonful at a time, until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks when you remove the whisk. Spoon the icing into the piping bag fitted with number 2 writing nozzle.
Step 14
To assemble, place the rim (number 9) upside down on a clean tea towel. Very carefully dip the base of ring number 8 into the caramel and place it on top of rim 9 to join them base to base.
Step 15
Dip the bottom of ring number 7 in the caramel and place it neatly on top of ring number 8. Repeat the process ring by ring, while gently supporting the horn as you add each ring. Finally, place the ball on the top and leave the cornucopia to set until firm enough to stand on its own.

In Greek mythology, Amalthea was a goat who raised Zeus on her breast milk, in a cave, on Mount Ida of Crete. Her horn was accidentally broken off by Zeus while playing together. The god Zeus, in remorse, gave her back her horn with supernatural powers, which would give whoever possessed it whatever they wished for. The original depictions were of the goat's horn filled with fruits and flowers: deities, especially Fortuna, were depicted with the horn of plenty. The cornucopia was also a symbol for a woman's fertility. The story is said to be a predecessor of the Unicorn and the Holy Grail stories.
In modern depictions, the cornucopia is typically a hollow, horn-shaped wicker basket filled with various kinds of festive fruit and vegetables. In North America, the cornucopia has come to be associated with Thanksgiving and the harvest. Cornucopia is also the name of the annual November Wine and Food celebration in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. Two cornucopias are seen in the flag and state seal of Idaho. the coat of arms of Colombia, Panama, Peru and Venezuela, and the Coat of Arms of the State of Victoria, Australia, symbolising prosperity.
The horn of plenty is used on body art and at Christmas, as it is a symbol of fertility, fortune and abundance.[1] Some evangelical Christians warn against wearing the symbol, or the similar Italian horn symbol of male fertility, saying it is actually demon-infested or unlucky,[2] and equating it to the "little horn", a figure described in the Christian Bible sometimes considered to be the Antichrist.[3]
In the popular young adult novel The Hunger Games, the Cornucopia is a giant golden horn overflowing with weapons and supplies, which is the center of the bloodbath, the opening fight in the Games.

Start by printing the image below on a blank piece of paper. If you copy and paste it into a word document and want the charm sized exactly like the one in this tutorial, be sure the drawn notebook page measures three by four inches.
Place the Shrinky Dink page rough side up directly over the notebook template and trace with colored pencils. Then use black marker or pencil to write on the first line of the drawn paper. If you have older children you can skip this step and let them write on the paper themselves.
