Frosting

1. Mix softened butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth

2. Transfer ½ of the frosting into a large piping bag fitted with any desired cake decorating tip

3. Start by piping the sides of the cake with up and down strokes, being careful to avoid the feet and nose area (those will be colored pink).

4. Continue to the top of the cake leaving the bottom of the feet, and nose bare. Continue to add white frosting to your piping bag as needed.

5. Once the body of the unicorn is finished, mix a couple drops of pink food coloring into the remaining frosting and transfer into a piping bag.

6. Continue like before, piping the unicorn's feet and nose with pink frosting.

7. Draw your unicorn's mouth and eye with black cake decorating gel.

8. Create the unicorn's 'mane and tail' by twisting Airhead Extreme rainbow ropes and laying into place. Push one end of the rope into the cake frosting to help hold it in place.
