1

Prepare the Unicorn Shaped Cake

Bake two round cakes in any flavor you like, using a special unicorn-shaped cake mold if you can find one. If not, you can create a unicorn shape by cutting one round cake in half and placing the halves perpendicular to each other on a platter. Use frosting to 'glue' the halves together and form the unicorn shape.

2

Cover the Cake in Rainbow Frosting

Separate white frosting into several small bowls and add food coloring to create a rainbow of colors. Apply each color to different sections of the cake, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Use a spatula to blend the colors together for a magical gradient effect.

3

Decorate with Edible Glitter

Sprinkle a generous amount of edible glitter all over the unicorn cake. Be as sparkly as possible! You can also add additional decorations like edible pearls or rainbow sprinkles to enhance the magical effect.

4

Create a Unicorn Horn

Roll a piece of fondant into a long, thin cone shape to create the unicorn horn. Insert a wooden skewer into the base of the horn, leaving enough length to insert it into the cake. Allow the fondant to dry and harden before positioning the horn on top of the unicorn cake.

5

Add Final Touches and Enjoy

Using more frosting, attach candy eyes and a smiling mouth made from colored fondant to bring your unicorn cake to life. Place the cake in a magical setting, like a cloud of cotton candy, and sprinkle some extra edible glitter around for that extra sparkle. Now, gather your friends, sing 'Happy Birthday,' and enjoy a magical slice of unicorn goodness!
