Ingredients

For the Candy Unicorn Toppers

  • ½ cup pink candy melts
  • Silicone unicorn candy mold

For the Cupcakes

  • 12 cupcakes
  • 16 oz 453g frosting
  • Food coloring gel - purple green, blue and yellow
  • Colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  • Melt the candy melts according to the package instructions and pour into the unicorn candy mold.




    Adding Melted Candy To Unicorn Mold
  • Candy Unicorns in Mold
  • Leave to set for about an hour and gently remove the candy unicorns from the mold.
  • Divide the frosting into 4 bowls.
  • Use food coloring gel to color the frosting to desired shade. Adding a tiny amount, as you can always add more, but can't take it away!


  • Place a star piping tip into a large piping bag.
  • Add each colored frosting down one-quarter of the piping bag, and gently squeeze to blend the colors to come out of the tip.
  • Starting at the edge of the cupcake, pipe frosting. You will start at the edge, work your way around the cupcake and move towards the middle on your next turn around.


    Frosting the Unicorn Cupcakes
  • Add sprinkles to the frosting, and place a candy unicorn on top. Enjoy!
