Happy April friends! Spring is in full-swing and today I wanted to share some of my newest creations with you! It's a Pastel Watercolors Unicorn Cake and Unicorn Cake Pops.
With the Unicorn Cake trend going viral at every turn, I was super excited when I was asked to do a Unicorn Cake this past week (
And when my client also asked for super adorable Unicorn Cake Pops? I felt like I had hit the jackpot! It was just SO.MUCH.FUN.
Unicorn Cake Recipe
This cake was comprised of three 7 layers of cake on the bottom and two 5 layers of cake on top. It was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream.
For the pastel colors, I used Americolor Electric Blue, a mix of Americolor Violet and Regal Purple, then Wilton Pink gel colors. I loved blending them together to get the watercolor look on the bottom!
The top tier was white vanilla buttercream with gold fondant eyes (white homemade marshmallow fondant painted with Imperial gold luster dust mixed with lemon extract).
Baby Shower Cake Pops
For the mane, I used this technique to mix pink, purple and blue buttercream, then piped on the rosettes with a Wilton 1M tip. The ears and horn were gum paste (I colored the horn gum paste yellow first), also painted with the Imperial gold luster dust mixed to a paint with lemon extract. These are my favorite paint brushes.
The ribbon was real pink satin ribbon. I don't think I've ever put real ribbon on a cake, but this order was sort of last minute and I really didn't have time to pre-make a bow and let it dry. I played around with the real bow and ended up really loving the look!

You'll find my technique for how I cover my cake boards with glitter paper and ribbon here. For this one, I used white glitter paper (it's not easy to see in the pics) and ½ lavender satin ribbon.
Unicorn Cake Pops (color Options)
My daughter Sarah made 12 little horns and 24 tiny little ears for me (plus a few extras) out of gum paste. The horns were yellow gum paste (so it wouldn't take as much gold dust) and the ears were white (obviously). After they dried overnight, I painted the horns and insides of the ears with the same mix mentioned above: Imperial gold luster dust mixed to a paint with lemon extract.
The eyes were drawn on with Americolor Gourmet Food Markers, the cheeks were dusted with edible Petal Dust. I made the tiny ribbon roses from homemade marshmallow fondant. If you want to see how, check out this ribbon rose tutorial... except in teeny-tiny form. The ribbons were probably less than ¼ wide and cut with this ribbon cutter.
The cake pops were white cake. You can see my cake pops tutorial here. I dipped them in white candy melts, then used the same melted candy to glue on the horns, ears and tiny roses. They were detailed (thank goodness she only ordered a dozen), but really pretty easy-peasy!
