So madthing5 has decided she wants a unicorn cake for her 4th bday in a few weeks.
Having googled I think my best bet is to make something like this and add a horn and wings. Horn is easy an ice cream cone cut to size and covered with roll out icing. Wings to lay flat on the body also out if roll out icing, feather shapes and stuck on?
What shapes should I do the basic shapes for body and head? Rectangular for body and trim to shape? Then two regular 8" round cakes for head and trim and use scraps to make head shape and mould it all with butter icing before covering?
Have seen fab mane and tail made out of roll out icing planted together so I think that's easyish.., oh God this will be a nightmare?
How far in advance can I make the mane and tail and wings etc?
