Easy Unicorn Cake Tutorial<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

There is fashion in all things, including confectionery. And since lately Unicorns are all the rage, we decided to make our own Unicorn cake. We really like it a lot (and not just because it’s ours) and it’s perfect for a kids birthday party. You will definitely need some patience and special cake decorating tools, but in general it looks more difficult than it really is. Prepare all the needed materials in advance as otherwise the preparation process might take longer. If you don’t have fondant in different colours, you can always use white, divide it into a few different balls and colour it with food colours<\/a><\/span>. You will need a wooden skewer to attach the unicorn horn, and if you would like to give it even more of a fairy tale appearance, you can also use gold shimmer spray<\/a><\/span>, and why not even a silver one? After you have made it, you can stick it into a piece of polystyrene while you’re making the rest of the decoration, or you can fill a tall glass with rice and prop up the unicorn horn inside.<\/p>\n

Modelling fondant is very similar to working with playdoh. Don’<\/span>t forget to sprinkle your working surface with icing sugar, as otherwise the fondant will stick to it. Fondant dries out very quickly, but it\u2019s easy to notice it \u2013 it starts forming an \u201celephant skin\u201d and even crumbles. To avoid that, use 1-2 drops of water to moisten it a bit. If you have added too much water and it starts to stick, add a bit of icing sugar. Even if you have never worked and decorated with fondant before, don\u2019t worry at all, you will learn what\u2019s the best consistency very quickly.<\/p>\n
