For the sponge
175 g Caster sugar
175 g Butter or baking spread I use Stork
3 Eggs large
1 tsp Vanilla extract
150g Self raising flour
20g coco powder
35 g Sprinkles


For the buttercream
200 g Butter
400 g Icing sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
3-4 drops of two different food colouring of choice
1 tbsp Milk optional

For decoration
Unicorn cake decorations

To make the sponge I first mixed together the butter and caster sugar. Then I added the eggs and vanilla extract and mixed them in. Next I mixed in self raising flour, coco powder and folded in the rainbow sprinkles. I divided the cupcake batter into cases, then I baked them for 25 minutes.

While the cupcakes were cooling I made a vanilla buttercream by mixing together butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract, then split it into two bowls and added the food colouring. I put one bowl of the icing into one half of the piping bag then the other bowl into the other half the the piping bag. I piped the buttercream onto each of the cupcakes. Finally I added onto the unicorn cake decorations.
