Buttercream Unicorn Birthday Cake

Image
 This cake was for my daughter's ninth birthday. She is obsessed with unicorns right now, so she wanted a buttercream unicorn cake for her birthday.  This is an 8-inch vanilla cake filled and frosted with uncolored strawberry buttercream.  Then I colored most of the rest of the buttercream light purple, darker purple, pink and blue. I frosted the cake again with light purple buttercream. Then I put the blue, pink and dark purple buttercream in piping bags with star tips and the uncolored buttercream in a piping bag with a medium round tip. I later put the rest of the uncolored buttercream in a piping bag with a star tip. Then I made some ears and a horn out of white fondant.  I piped some closed eyes with eyelashes. Then I placed the ears and horn on the cake. I piped a shell border along the bottom with the uncolored buttercream. Then I piped rosettes out of dark purple. And blue. And then pink. I also filled in some gaps with stars.  I am so proud of this cake...
