This same process will work for mermaid cupcakes, if you use a mermaid candy mold instead.

Your cupcakes can be homemade from scratch, made from a box mix or store bought.

Whatever cupcakes you choose for the base, these decorations will be super cute.

It is easy to get good results, when you follow my simple DIY tutorial

First, take a look at the in process photos. Then get the complete supply list and step by step instructions below.

Silicone molds are easy to use to turn candy melts into cute shapes.

They look great and, also, are fun to eat.

After dividing the white frosting into four separate bowls, you’ll add food coloring to make the unicorn colors.

All four colors go into one piping bag, so you’ll be using them all at the same time to get the unicorn effect.

When piping the frosting, you’ll start at the outer edge and move in a circular motion towards the middle.

When the cupcakes are frosted, it is time to add the finishing touches.

First, you’ll position a unicorn on top of the frosting. Second, you’ll add colorful sprinkles.

Little ones can help with the final decorating step.

If your kids have some kitchen skills, they may even be able to help pipe the frosting.
