A mythical creature they might be, but unicorn cakes and treats are turning up at birthday parties everywhere – and we can’t get enough of it!
Manes made from luscious swirls of buttercream icing, metallic fondant horns and the cutest of pointed ears, all finished with a dusting of edible glitter and a sprinkling of sprinkles. This is one party trend we really hope sticks around to spread its magic for a while longer yet.
