Unicorn Children’s Baking Recipes

There’s nothing so rainbow-bright, sparkly and magical as a unicorn (yes, of course they exist – once you’ve baked them into life that is), which is why it’s so much fun to create unicorn-themed sweet treats, decorated with all the colourful icing, sprinkles and giggles you can throw at them, and why kids (of all ages) love them so much. Here’s how we got our fairy-tale endings.

With the Baked In Unicorn Cake Baking Kit most of the getting-everything-together hard work has been done for you, leaving you (and the little ones) the fun bit. The kit contains step-by-step instructions, and all the dry ingredients, cake tins, toppers and other decorations you’ll need to make a magical multi-coloured, multi-layered cake. All you have to add is eggs, butter and milk – oh, and an oven. Don’t want to make a big cake? Then how about some unicorn cookies or cupcakes?

Mini Unicorn Cookies

What you do

Use our 6 Mini Unicorn Cookie Cutters to stamp out little cookies, bake, then leave to cool.

To decorate, roll out your chosen colours of fondant icing to top the two unicorn, jewel, heart and star cookies, and make the clouds at either end of the rainbow cookies. Use the cutters to cut them out and attach to the top of your cookies with Edible Glue (you’ll need to cut out the clouds from the rest of the rainbow shape stamped out with the cutter).

To add the unicorn manes, tail and the rainbow, roll really thin sausages of different coloured fondant icing and attach to either the cookies or the layer of fondant icing using Edible Glue.

Draw on the unicorn eyes using a black edible ink pen, and use decorating tools to draw on mouths, nostrils and create the faceted look on the jewel cookies – a ruler might help with this too.

Sparkly Unicorn Cupcakes

What you do

Bake your favourite flavour of cupcake in our Unicorn Cupcake Cases. Mix up buttercream (or cheat by using Renshaw’s Personalise Me! Frosting), add pink food colouring, and pipe onto the top of your cooled cupcakes using a piping bag fitted with the 2D Wilton Flower Nozzle. Finish off with sparkly sprinkles, like Scrumptious Sprinkles’ Ice Pink 100s and 1000s.
