Unicorn Cake Recipe

Ingredients
600g cake Mix
2 Eggs
200 ml water
Blue & red food colouring (be sure the colouring is heat resistant as some can change when exposed to heat)
Flour
1/2 kilo of fondant
Black cherry jam
Vanilla frosting
1 1/2 tspn almond extract flavouring
Butter
Whisk
Rolling pin
4 cake tins
1 big mixing bowl
3 regular bowls

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
  • Sieve cake mix into big mixing bowl .
  • Add your eggs and water gradually.
  • Mix until smooth.
  • Add 1 1/2 tspns of almond flavouring.
  • Separate your mix into three bowls.
  • Add the colourings to create a pink mix, a blue mix and purple mix.
    (red for pink, a drop of blue to create a pale blue, both for purple)
  • Butter your cake trays thoroughly.
  • Spoon your mix into the trays to for clear definition between the colours then make sure the mix is level in the tray before popping into the oven. We did 4 layers but you can obviously have as many as you want, just be sure that there is even distribution between all trays so all the layers are even. 
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes .
  • Allow to cool.
  • Use a knife to level your cakes.
  • Add the vanilla frosting and cherry jam between each layer.
  • Sprinkle flour on a level surface.
  • Roll out a chunk of icing big enough to cover the entire cake.
  • When happy with the size and thickness, pick up and place over cake ensuring that the icing is completely smooth.
  • Cut around the bottom of the cake to get rid of any excess.
  • Roll all left over icing into a cone shape that you're happy with as this will make the horn of the unicorn.
  • Add a drop of water to the base of the horn (this will help it stick) and then place on top of cake.
  • Paint and decorate the rest as desired.
  • Enjoy!
