    Witch Unicorn Cupcakes Idea

    My daughter loves unicorns. She has always loved them, but lately, everything is unicorn this and unicorn that.

    Unicorn Cupcakes Ideas

    I have seen a lot of Unicorn cupcakes ideas. Some of them are incredibly complex. When we started talking about making simple Halloween cupcakes and decided on Witch Unicorn Cupcakes, I knew I wanted a simple unicorn cupcake.

    Simple Halloween Unicorn Cupcakes

    When making these simple unicorn cupcakes, it needs almost no experience or special skills. Creating the frosting spiral is as simple as squeezing the piping bag with frosting. Then it is simply a matter of adding the horn and the ears.

    What is used as the Unicorn Cupcake Toppers

    I found this cute Unicorn horn and ears set made by Wilton. However, if you are making these cupcakes and need a unicorn cupcake toppers, you can make these same things with fondant. You would take the colored fondant and roll it into strips for a horn. Then roll the 3 colors together in a spiral form. To make the ears, you will make a teardrop shape and then adding a small amount of color, either from icing, food color gel or another colored fondant for the inside.

    Can this be used for Unicorn Cupcake Cake

    I have seen these cute unicorn cupcake cakes that people make. You basically place the cupcakes into a unicorn shape, frost over them all smoothly with icing and then create the face. These Unicorn cake toppers can be used on the cupcakes to help form the face.
