As a young girl, I truly loved unicorns. See I couldn’t have been more than 8 or 9. I was probably my close to my older daughter’s age. It was at this time that my dad went away on a business trip. Upon his return, he brought home a life sized unicorn stuffed animal. This unicorn even had pink hair/mane for this “pink girl”

The pink girl…
Fast forward to recent years, both my girls also happen to love unicorns. So much so that on a recent mall shopping trip, they made me buy them unicorn hair bows. Well, they truly didn’t have to twist this once unicorn lover’s arm.
But still, these two are truly unicorn obsessed. They even asked me if I could make them unicorn cupcakes. Well, what was this unicorn loving mama to do.
That’s right, I totally gave in and made unicorn cupcakes. Because really how could I not comply with this simple unicorn loving wish?!
If you check out the recipe below, it looks harder than it really is. That’s because I include the cupcake baking. Honestly, you just need to get your favorite store bought cupcake mix. My girls usually ask for Funfetti, which I even use for cakes like this, too. Once the cupcakes are baked, then the fun part of decorating begins!
I happen to buy most if not all of my supplies from Amazon. Because Amazon Prime really does pay for itself!
This includes gold sprinkles, cupcake liners, gel food coloring, disposable piping bags, star decorating tip and even rainbow sprinkles!
So, see very easy to make. And truly fun to eat, too!
