unicorn cake

A unicorn cake is a decorated cake featuring unicorn motifs—typically a horn, ears, and flowing mane in pastel colors, often with edible glitter or fondant details.

Popular for children's birthday parties, the style emerged in the mid-2010s as part of broader unicorn-themed food trends: She spent hours making a unicorn cake for her daughter's party.
