If you love Christmas, unicorns and cake then this easy Christmas unicorn cake is for you. Follow these simple instructions and make your own unicorn Christmas cake at home.
Firstly, start by sprinkling some icing sugar over your counter. This will stop your fondant sticking to your work space while you roll it out.
Roll out each of your fondant colours, you will need the most gold and green fondant and then smaller amounts of the other colours.
To make the Unicorn horn, cut your rolled out gold fondant into 3 equal strips about 1" wide and 2" long.
Then wrap these 3 strips together to form a spiral. Pinching the tip to make a horn. You can also wrap the strips around the skewer so they are ready to place into the cake later on.
Next up, lets make the ears. Using your white fondant, cut 2 1" thick triangles and press your index finger into the centre to create a curve. Then cut and add 2 smaller triangles from the pink fondant and lay them inide the ears.
To draw the eyes onto your Unicorn Christmas cake mix the black colour paste with a little water to thin the consistency and make it easier to draw the eye lashes. Drag your little brush across the top of the cake to create a closed eye and then add lots of little lashes!
To make your unicorn cake ready for Christmas, make some holly berries from your red fondant by rolling a little of it between your fingers to make a small ball. You can make your berries as big or small as you like.
These holly berries now need some leaves to go with them. You can either use a leaf-shaped cookie cutter or try and cut the holly leaves yourself! Just make sure your green fondant is nice and thin. To add some detail to your leaves indent them to create the veins.
Now it's time to assemble! Using your skewer, stick the horn onto the cake and place each of the ears on either side to create your unicorn face! Then layer your berries and leaves around the ears and horn you can arrange these however you like!
The final step is to dust the horn, berries and cheeks of your unicorn cake with gold lustre to create a wonderful, magical Unicorn Christmas Cake.
