Rainbow Unicorn Cake
A unicorn magically appears on top of this rainbow cake. Seriously you need to watch the video – this is a high tech cake!
Did you know apple individually reviews every app and update that is uploaded to their store? Great unless you’re waiting for an app to be approved, with no particular time frame you just wait. The unicorns are up in google play and will be up in itunes as soon as apple ticks yes. (Update: App now available in iTunes and google play)
To make the unicorn rainbow cake you will need:
3 packets vanilla cake mix
1 quantity of ganache made with white chocolate
2 quantities of the american buttercream recipe
gel food colors in purple, blue, green, red and yellow
cocoa powder
Plus an additional 2 quantities of american buttercream
Equipment:
20cm (7.87 inches) round cake tins
lots of bowls for mixing colors
a plate or cake stand to serve the cake on
plastic zip lock bags for piping

Hi – is it necessary to cool the cake? Usually I don’t store it in the fridge with just buttercream but I am unsure with the ganache. Thanks, Mirja
Hi Mirja, Once decorated the cake should be kept cool but doesn’t necessarily need to be put in the fridge. Both buttercream and ganache are heat sensitive so should be cared for in the same way.
Hi Ann!
I love your channel. My kids and I watch all the time!my almost four-year-old girl wants a rainbow princess cake and I was going to make this cake, but use the princess cake technique to put a doll in it. Can you tell me how tall this cake is? It looks too tall for the doll. How would I adjust the height without omitting any colors? I’d prefer to not have twice as much cake as necessary, if I can help it! Thanks for your great ideas and wonderfully concise videos!

Hi Elly, this cake is on the tall side but I think you might only need to omit one layer for it to seem about the right size. If you omitted the bottom layer I dont think you would lose the impact of the rainbow. It will all depend on the doll you are using. Mostly princess dolls have very long legs and so sometimes the legs have to be removed to make the cake look right. Another option would be to make the bottom layer or two of the cake to look like a pedestal or platform your doll is standing on and just shape the upper layers to appear like her dress.
Thank you so much for all you do! I had fun making this cake.
Hey Ann Reardon I was wondering if you can show me how to cook a chocolate and a vanilla cake mixed up like a marbel cake cause me and my family and friends are having a party not a birthday party it’s just a pity party.
Hello Ann,
I’m thinking about making this cake for my sister’s birthday on Wednesday. I really love your creations and I am gonna try to replace the grass on top with your chocolate butterflies. My family is already hooked on your sponge cake so I was wondering if I could use that recipe instead of the cake mix. 🙂
Hi Jana, That will be totally fine.
I love you cakes you explain stuff so good which cake do you recommend for a three year old girl who loves sofia the first.

Hi Kaylee, You could try the princess cake and just adjust the colours and decorations to match Sofia. You will find the: http://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/how-to-make-a-princess-cake-using-fondant/
