Unicorn Cake




I finally got a chance to make a magical unicorn cake.! 🦄 First, I used fondant to make the ears, the eyes, and the unicorn horn a couple days ahead of time. I used a wooden dowel for the base of the unicorn horn. I added edible gold mist accents once dry as well as some edible glitter.!

I love the combination of all the bright colors.!



The mane reminded me of rainbow colored succulents. I used various star tips to add swirls and flower accents 🌈

Drip Galaxy Cake

 My friend from work is leaving to find better opportunities elsewhere- of course I had to wish her well & that means making a cake! :)


 I didn't have much of a plan for this one ahead of time beyond a color scheme. First I baked three 9 in chocolate cake rounds which I layered with seedless raspberry jam. Then, I iced with buttercream tinted various shades of blue to achieve a marbled effect.
 I wanted to try making a drip cake, since I haven't had the opportunity to before. I made a white chocolate ganache tinted with a bit of hot pink and purple food gel for such purposes. I'm pretty happy with the overall result, but may make a slightly thicker ganache next time!
 Purple, blue, and silver sprinkles completed this galaxy themed cake.
