Featured Recipe

Unicorn Cake — step by step

Let's make our most requested birthday cake together, with pearl dust colours and the Unicorn silicone mould set.

1
Sponge and cream

Bake a light sponge in a 22 cm tin; layer pastry cream and fruit between the tiers.

2
Roll out the fondant

Roll out Dr-Paste Fondant with a rolling pin and size it to your cake.

3
Colour with pearl tones

Brush the fondant with pearl light blue, yellow and pink dust colours.

4
Cover the tiers

Lay the fondant over the cake, trim the excess and sharpen the edges with a smoother.

5
Bow and pearl details

Use the 5-piece Unicorn (00038) and the Pearl Set (00047) for baby blue ribbons and the bow.

6
Crown it with a rainbow

Roll the coloured pastes, join them and set them on the top tier as a rainbow.
