As popular as unicorn cakes have become, this is actually the first one I have made! This design is so fun and girly! A fellow small business owner, Kayla ordered this cake for her daughter. As a side note, you should definitely check out her store Southern Harts Boutique. She has super cute things and they’ll ship if you don’t live in Pulaski!


All of the 3D elements on this cake are made from modeling chocolate, which is a great medium in cooler weather. I hand painted the horn, stars and center of the ears metallic gold with food paint. In the example photo she sent, the bottom tier was airbrushed. Since I wasn’t able to do that, I did a camouflage technique which turned out great. To top it off, I added some gold sanding sugar for a little extra glam. Happy birthday Gianna!!
