Circle cutter
Knife
Large cocktail stick
Clear alcohol
Pink, light blue and blue Saracino pasta model

Step 1
Cover your cake with sugarpaste. For best results use Saracino Pasta Top.
Tip : Pasta Top is Vegan, Gluten free and has NO hydrogenated fats.
Step 2
Using a soft brush gently blend from the base upwards with the pink powder colour, be careful not to use too much colour and you can tap the brush onto a sheet of kitchen paper to remove excess. Do the same from the top of the cake downwards.
Step 3
Using your circle cutter cut out two circles. Using the same cutter cut out two crescent shapes.
Step 4
Using your fingers shape the crescent into an eyebrow.
Step 5
Repeat so we have two eyebrows.
Step 6
Mix your gold dust colour with the clear alcohol and paint both eyebrows. Fix where required on the side of the cake.
Step 7
Using your circle cutters cut out two large and two small circles. Use a sharp knife to cut the top of each circle into a triangle shape.
Step 8
Using the gold paint, colour the two smaller circles.
Step 9
Fix the smaller painted pieces into the larger shapes to form the ears.
Step 10
Now for the Unicorn horn. Roll out two thin cone shapes from your white modelling paste.
Step 11
Twist the two together to give the spiral effect.
Step 12
Roll it tightly and then insert a cocktail stick or skewer into the base to provide support.
Step 13
Using your gold colour paint the horn. Fix the horn and the ears to the top of the cake.
Step 14
For the flowers cut out circles of different colours.
Tip : You can choose any colour scheme to match your occasion.
Step 15
For each flower create a central bud by rolling paste into an egg shape. Then start applying the petals around each bud.
Step 16
Cut the larger petals in half to give the effect you need for each flower.
Step 17
Keep fixing the petals working around the buds.
Step 18
Tuck each petal inside the one previously applied and fix.
Step 19
Make as many roses as you want to give the look you need. Fix to the top of the cake to give the unicorns hair look. We will go onto the filler flowers next.
Step 20
For the filler flowers use your fingers to roll out cone shapes as shown.
Step 21
We cut the largest part of the cone in half and then half again in the other direction to give four petals.
Step 22
We spread the cut parts to form a four-petal flower. Use finger pressure or a ball tool to spread them and give form to make look realistic.
Step 23
Now dust your filler flowers using pink Saracino powder colour. Place the filler flowers among the roses to fill in any gaps.
Step 24
Use as many roses and filler flowers to give the effect you would like to see on your cake.
Step 25
For the babies head roll a ball and with your fingers press to create the eye sockets. Use a silicone tool to form the nose.
Step 26
We create the nostrils and shape the nose with the silicone tool.
Step 27
Use a ball tool to create the eyebrow arches.
Step 28
Use your ball tool to create the eye sockets. Then roll two small balls of modelling paste to create the eyes.
Step 29
Insert the balls inside the holes to create the eyes.
Step 30
Make two smaller circles of brown paste and fix to each each ball.
Step 31
Roll out some of your brown paste very thinly and attach a strip above each eye for the eyebrows.
Step 32
Use your Dresden tool or similar to form the lips. The use a small ball tool to create the sides of the mouth.
Step 33
Create the pupil with a black food marker.
Step 34
Blend the iris with the brown food marker.
Step 35
Use your small ball tool to shape the mouth into the expression you require. Using white Saracino gel colour apply tiny dots to each eye.
Step 36
Your modelled face should look similar to this.
Step 37
Roll out an oval shape of your white paste for the body.
Step 38
Using your fingers raise one end of the oval shape.
Step 39
Use your ball tool to press the neck and sockets for each leg.
Step 40
For the neck roll out a tube of your pink paste. Cut short and fix into the socket made for the neck.
Step 41
Use a cocktail stick to attach the head to the neck in the angle you would like. For the hair roll out yellow paste into thin strands. Start applying to the head to build up the hair style. Use your ball tool to form shoulder sockets. Roll two strands to create the unicorn horn for the little girls head. Twist them together.
Step 42
Press down the hair strands with your silicone tool.
Step 43
Form the arm with pink paste and create the palm of the hand with the thumb.
Step 44
Form the four fingers. Now repeat for the left arm and hand.
Step 45
Place the girl in front of the cake and attach her arm and the unicorn horn to her head.
Step 46
Roll a sausage shape of pink paste and cut diagonally in the centre for the legs.
Step 47
Use your fingers to roll out the foot and ankle from the thinner part of the paste.
Step 48
Roll gently on your mat to create the form of the leg and knee.
Step 49
Make four small cuts on the back of the foot to form five toes.
Step 50
Fix the legs and the arms to the little girl. Model them into the shape you would like.
Your model is now finished and ready to WOW your friends.
