Fat unicorn cakes are almost too cute to eat
Whether you’re young or just young at heart, this cake trend is surely one that will be popping up at birthday parties everywhere. No matter your age, these fat unicorn cakes are too cute not to love, and they’re so adorable that you might even hesitate to dig in.
OK, so what is a fat unicorn cake, exactly? Well, they’re cakes that feature an additional fondant unicorn as a decoration. But this isn’t any old unicorn—it’s one that happened to take a bite of the cake before you and your party guests ever had the chance. This unicorn has a belly full of sugar and is exhausted—and we can all relate to that feeling.
While we’re not entirely sure how to feel about the name of this trend—why not just call them “hungry unicorn cakes”?—we do agree their cuteness level is through the roof.
These quirky cakes have been popping up on Instagram, thanks to the talented bakers behind accounts such as crazysweets.de and chocofrutasbylissy.
Get a load of the cuteness:
