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.

Threadbound Art is a small Etsy shop full of whimsy, with lots of animal patterns, and lots of geese in particular.

The farmhouse and country category is the largest as of this writing, and of the 16 patterns in it, 11 involve geese. I guess they really are trending this year! There’s also a cowboy frog, a little pillow with bees and honey on it and a couple of patterns with chickens/ducks.

I love this little farmer goose watering his carrots, so that’s the one I picked to share. The design is 42 by 48 stitches, which comes out to 3 by 3.43 inches, or 7.62 by 8.7 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It only uses whole cross stitches, so it’s a nice option for beginning stitchers. It calls for 13 colors of floss.

The Nordic and Scandinavian collection has even more geese, with a couple of designs showing flying geese and a white on black goose pattern that matches others in this set including a rabbit, swan, bird, fox and deer.

Woodland animals includes a mouse with a mushroom, a witchy box and a rabbit and owl both on tree branches, to name a few.

Other designs include a set of spring flower designs worked on small pillows, a handful of cute animals designed for kids rooms (I love the cozy frog with his book!), a couple of holiday patterns and fairy houses.

A collection of mini cross stitch patterns includes sheep, an acorn, pine cone and pumpkin, as well as a duck, seagull and swan.

If you don’t want to buy individual patterns, the shop also sells pattern bundles including some of the woodland animals, the little farmhouse pillows and spring pillows, the fairy houses, a couple of frogs and even some loving cats that I don’t see elsewhere in the shop.

Check out all the designs at Threadbound Art, and let me know if something catches your eye!
