Do you make your own birthday cakes? 🎂🍰🧁
Yesterday was my birthday and Mr 5 decided I needed to have a unicorn 🦄 cake, so a quick google search for an idea and we decided to make a cupcake pull apart cake.
I made the 30 second cupcakes from the recipe community, which really takes no time at all to make, add all your ingredients and mix for 30 seconds. This recipe made 30 cupcakes and the unicorn needed 24.
Then I made a double batch of the Buttercream icing and mixed into 3 colours and a batch of Chocolate Ganache (i used white chocolate instead of dark chocolate) both from Cookidoo.
I made the unicorn 🦄 head shape, covered in the ganache and let that set and then piped the buttercream icing to make the mane and decorate the extra cupcakes 🧁 and topped off with some sprinkles.
To pipe the 3 colours together I put each colour in a separate piping bag and then added the 3 together inside the MixShop piping bag and this created the 3 colours in one icing with very little mess.
Google also said that you could put the icing in a snap lock bag and cut the tip or glad wrap and then add to a piping bag if that’s easier for you.
