80 DIY Unicorn Cake Ideas

If you haven’t been bitten (or attacked) by the Unicorn bug then no doubt you have seen them online.

Unicorns have a lot of charm and it’s nice to see something other than Disney (sorry Walt) for our little girls and boys to be into. Unicorns are non branded generic mythical creatures that can be created in so many different variations.

We asked the readers of an online cake making group to share their Unicorn creations. We had so many wonderful and creative contributions that we had to turn off the submission comments. We narrowed it down to our top 80 designs.

Some of these cakes are made by experts cake makers, mums, dads and just folks who like to give it ago for their child’s Unicorn party. We love all the color variations of these homemade Unicorn cakes. There are so many tutorials online for DIY unicorn cakes and party ideas. It appears the most popular cake design is the sleeping Unicorn cake.

We have listed all the images below along with the name of the creator next to it. These cakes are in no particular order as we love them all.

I’m always tempted by the pretty velvets at the fabric store. So much texture! And the way the fibers catch the light! But sewing on velvet is trickier than you’d think. That nap that lends beautiful texture also likes to slip and crawl. That nap can also spell disaster if you cut a piece the wrong direction. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t use buy that velvet and sew it into something gorgeous, you just need to go into your velvet sewing project prepared. And Melissa at Melly Sews has a post that takes you step by step through sewing on velvet.

Velvet is such a luscious fabric, especially for winter sewing projects. Of course there are velvet Christmas sewing projects – stockings, tree skirts, santa hats – but velvet is beautiful for all winter. Think of all the gorgeous velvet dresses, evening bags, hair accessories, even pillows and other home décor that you see all winter long.

Melly Sews’ post gives you the tips and tricks you need to know in order for your velvet sewing project to end up a success. There are types of projects better suited for velvets, and kinds of projects to avoid. She describes the different types of velvet available. And she also tells the best way to lay out and cut your pattern pieces from velvet fabric. Her tutorial also covers marking, pressing, and of course sewing that beautiful fabric. There’s also a video included in case that’s your preferred method for learning.

Head over to Melly Sews to learn how to sew on velvet fabric.

And if you want to learn more about that lovely blue velvet dress shown, she has a post that tells more about it including 2 ways to style it depending on if you want to be more dressy or more casual.
