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.

Circular knitting machines are a lot of fun, and one of the best ways I have found to use them is to make seasonal decor and toys. I guess that’s because these are the kinds of projects that I don’t want to spend a ton of time on but still want to make from time to time.

That’s not to say that knitting machine projects can’t be detailed and time consuming. And really the great ones are those that take the time to add fun details to make the finished project that much more interesting.

Like these adorable dinosaurs from Three Magic Sheep Co. The pattern includes instructions for a triceratops and a stegosaurus. Here they’re shown in coordinating candy colors, which I love, but you can of course make yours in any color you like.

The larger pieces of the body and legs are worked on either a 46 or 48 pin machine, while the smaller parts are worked on a 22-pin machine. I don’t know if a lot of people have both but the 22 pin machines are so inexpensive it’s nice to have both for projects like this. I’m not sure what she used for the triceratops horns, but in customer pictures on the listing it shows people have made them with both knitting and crochet so you can do that, too, instead of buying horns to use.

The details on these are really cute (you will want to buy safety eyes, or you can embroider eyes on if you’d rather) and customers note it takes longer to sew the pieces together than it does to crank them.

This looks like a fun pair of patterns to make for a dinosaur loving kiddo (or adult!) in your life. You can check out the pattern and all the customer comments and photos at Three Magic Sheep Co. on Etsy.
