There’s just something mystical about the legendary creatures that capture the innocence of childhood. And when it comes to capturing the enchanting nature of unicorns in cake form – there are literally hundreds of ideas! So we’ve strapped on our wings and made our way around the land to gather the very best unicorn cake ideas for your next celebration. Here’s another theme crossover, but this time it isn’t mermaids, it’s a bunny! The most adorable birthday or Easter cake, this little guy featured cute bunny paws and a funfetti cake inside to keep the party going! No need for fondant of any kind with this whimsical cake. Just use buttercream and your piping skills, and some ice cream cones. This is the perfect design if you’re pressed for time!

Yep, fat unicorn cakes are a thing! They are hilariously adorable, and require a bit of sculpting skill, as well as the ability to partially destroy a perfectly good cake! Ah, Wilton cake tins – who doesn’t have at least one in their kitchen?! If you can source a Wilton Unicorn Cake Pan then head over to the link below and see how many different, creative versions of a unicorn you can create! It’s honestly so easy! This sweet guy is actually deceptively easy to make – in fact it’s called the Magically Easy Unicorn Cake! Using an ice-cream cone for the horn is a genius shortcut and sour spaghetti lollies make short work of the unicorn’s mane.

No baked creation is complete without being decorated. Our massive range of edible cake decorations includes edible glue, glitter, cake sprinkles, fondant tubs, food colouring, decorating gels and many more. The adorable cake in the centre of this tray of sweetness was created using a unicorn cake tin and decorated with modelling paste to give it a super professional finish, even though it can easily be made at home. And of course, we love the use of lollies and biscuits to help bring a touch of colour to the tray. Themed pans: wanting to bake a very special cake for a loved one's upcoming party? We have a range of uniquely themed baking pans in various shapes including numbers, dinosaurs, gingerbread men, hearts, footballs, cars, bottles and much more. A number cake always looks impressive, but when it’s piled high with pastel rainbow delights and unicorn horns – it’s positively enchanting! There are actually no unicorns in sight on this cake, but the adorable ears and teeny horns are enough of a hint. If you’re a keen baker but not so excited about the decorating side of things, a unicorn cake topper is the perfect way to finish off your deliciously magical masterpiece!

If a traditional unicorn isn’t your child’s thing, how about creating a cake roll with a unicorn theme? This is a complete sugar rush – but hey, it’s a birthday! Make a roulade batter and add swirls of food colouring after pouring it into the Swiss roll tin. Once baked, fill with cream and roll as usual, before covering in cream or buttercream and decorating in everything rainbow and pastel. Finally, we’re ending on a humorous note, with a cake that’s perhaps better suited to an adult’s birthday! This cutie is a bit of work, creating different coloured layers of cake, but it’s totally worth it for the impact! This gorgeous cake is one of the original unicorn designs to go viral. Super impressive in its simplicity, the cake is covered with buttercream icing, and the main is also piped buttercream. Fondant eyes, ears and a horn finish it off perfectly.A crying cake wouldn’t usually be top of our list for the child’s birthday, but there’s just something about this creation we love! The use of the rainbow drip is perfection in this two-tiered wonder. We just adore the simplicity of this cake, from the buttercream details to the use of pastel-coloured marshmallows for the mane. And if you turn your head slightly, you can see that this is just a regular round cake that’s had a large slice cut out of it – and that large slice gets cut down to make the ear and horn! So ridiculously simple! Whether it's cake pans, muffin pans, baking trays, cake decorating tools or more, you'll find everything you need at Spotlight. Shop our entire range of cake tins, muffin pans and baking trays online or visit us in-store today. Just when you thought a cake inspired by unicorns couldn’t get any sweeter – look at the inside of this stunner! By colouring some of the cake batter and swirling through uncoloured batter, you get a marbled, magical effect – it’s just the type of moment you want after blowing out the candles!
