She starts by cutting the cake unevenly in half so that she has two different sized pieces.

Tigga adds some frosting to her cake board to act as "glue", places the two pieces, cut end down, on top and presses them together to make the unicorn's head.

The cake decorator said to add a "crumb layer" of softened buttercream frosting.

"I like to use a piping bag, put some of the softened buttercream in the bag and spread little curlicues over the cake, smoothing them out with a spatula," she explained.

"This is called a crumb layer because it's used to catch crumbs and give a nice, smooth surface to the top layer of topping."

Tigga included the unicorn cake topper (pictured) she bought for $5 from Coles, which makes the eyes, ears and horn, and added two brown Smarties for the nostrils.

Tigga then said to put the cake in the freezer for five minutes to make it easier to apply the next layer of frosting and embellishments.

She repeats the same steps for the second layer of icing, wiping the excess onto the cutting board to clean it off.

Tigga used the unicorn cake toppers she bought for $5 from Coles to make the eyes, ears and horn and added two brown Smarties for the nostrils.

For the unicorn's mane, she puts buttercream in a few small bowls and a few drops of different food coloring in each one and mixes it well - Tigga used pink, blue and purple.

Tigga places one row of each color next to each other on a large piece of plastic wrap on the kitchen counter.

“Fold the happiness wrapper in half, roll it up like a sausage and wrap and twist the ends. You get a twist on each side. Cut off one of those sides with scissors,' she said.

Tigga said the unicorn only takes 20 to 30 minutes to make and costs about $30 total.

She puts the frosting "sausage" in a pastry bag, cut end down, and dabs the "rainbow swirl" onto the unicorn where the mane would be.

Lastly, Tigga added some sprinkles to the unicorn's mane, which she says is an optional step but looks "super cute."

Method

Half of the cake off center. The larger side is the face/head and the smaller side is the nose. After a few hours in the refrigerator, cut the cake so that it is clean.
Put some frosting on your cake board to act as "glue". Place the larger disk on the board first, then place the smaller disk next to it and press it down.
Shave the sides a little so it looks more like a unicorn's head.
For the first 'crumb layer' of the frosting, I use a piping bag, put some of the softened buttercream in the bag and make small squiggles across the cake, smoothing them out with a spatula.
Once this first coat has been applied, place it in the freezer for five minutes.
After five minutes in the freezer, apply a second coat of frosting using the same method as the first coat, smoothing it out as much as possible.
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe excess icing off the edges of the cake plate to make it nice and clean.
Insert the cake toppers into the cake. For the nose, select two brown Smarties and attach them to the smaller piece of cake, also known as the nose area.
Take small bowls, put some buttercream frosting in each bowl and add a few drops of different food coloring to each bowl and mix well.
Place a large sheet of plastic wrap on the kitchen counter. Place the pink icing in a line down the center of the happy wrap.
Add a row of purple frosting next to the pink frosting on the happy wrapper. Finish the same process with the blue icing.
Fold the wrap in half, roll it up like a sausage and fold the edges and twist. You get a twist on each side. Cut one of these sides with scissors
Place the pastry sausage in the pastry bag, with the cut end facing down. When you whistle it sounds like a rainbow swirl
The final step is to add some sprinkles to the unicorn's mane. This is optional, but looks super cool!
