But FIRST, I have a freebie for you!

Unicorn Cake Accessories

If you’re looking for cake accessories, like a unicorn horn, ears, lashes cake toppers and molds – these are my recommendations. These options are relatively inexpensive and have great reviews on Amazon.

• Unicorn Horn Cake Topper (This also comes with ears and lashes)
• Unicorn Horn, Ears, Lashes Mold (If you’re making an edible horn)
• Unicorn Cupcake Toppers and Wrappers (These are adorable!)

Unicorn Cake Ideas

How beautiful is this first unicorn cake? Head over to Baby to Boomer for full instructions from Wilton!

I am obsessed with this idea! First of all, it’s a rainbow confetti cake, which is so fun and delicious. Each slice is a separate unicorn, with gold birthday candles as the horn. Check out the full tutorial over at Campfire Marshmallows.

Look at these adorable unicorn mini cakes! These are by Brownie Mischief and this is a tutorial for the unicorn cookie cake toppers as seen in the picture. You can use them on adorable little funfetti mini cakes or even regular cupcakes!

Kara’s Party Ideas has another take on mini unicorn cakes! I really love this color combination for a unicorn birthday party.

Thats What Che Said has a great tutorial for these cute cupcake toppers if you have a circuit machine. I love cupcake toppers, because it’s really easy to either make or buy simple cupcakes and the toppers really jazz them up.

I love this unique unicorn cake idea by Wilton! These are marshmellow cucpakes, where the marshmallows act as the unicorn’s face.

Here’s another great unicorn cake idea by Wilton as well.

How adorable is this cupcake unicorn cake by Press Print Party? Check out DIY unicorn cake tutorial on their blog!

If you need to make a horn or ears for your DIY unicorn cake, check out this really great tutorial by The Bear Foot Baker!

Behind the Cake has an awesome take on the unicorn birthday cake. I love this rainbow cake version. Check out her tutorial!

This isn’t originally a unicorn-inspired cupcake, but these no-bake cheesecakes by Sugar Hero fit the theme perfectly! Add a unicorn cupcake topper and you’re good to go!

I love these unicorn cupcakes by Juniper Cakery! 

I shared these unicorn cupcake cones before when I talked about unicorn food ideas, but I had to share them again because they’re so creative. Check out the tutorial over at My Heavenly Recipes.

Finally, our last cupcake idea is just another take on the unicorn cupcake. I really loved the subtle difference in colors with this cupcake. Check out the recipe over at My Kids Lick the Bowl.

There you have it! I hope these unicorn cake ideas inspired your next party! Next week we’ll be looking at unicorn birthday invitation ideas to continue our series!
