Exactly how many recreation would turn out if I tried to do this lol.

hey at least they gave it a go

Love it! As long as it tastes good and is covered in sprinkles my little ones will eat anything!

It’s not too bad kids can look beyond it, as long as it tastes good !

Good on her for giving it a go. Cake making is not my greatest strength so I will continue to buy my coles cakes and lollies to decorate ???????? Kids haven’t complained yet for my lack of cake baking skills hehe

I’ve never tried the Unicorn cake but I have made a few other cakes over the years. The best one that comes to mind was the ghetto blaster with all the attachments. I’ve also made a UFO, a dolls bed, football, hockey pitch with nets and a snake.

Ummm, no I haven’t. The Coles version was fantastic for the price. And those who attempted it, all in good fun, I’m sure their kids will love them.

Wow I think you’re better off saving time and money and just buying the Coles one!

Hahahaha this is hilarious! Cake making is incredibly difficult

Never tried. I used smarties to make a rainbow cake.

  This is so cool!

I think most children can look beyond the looks of the cake

Glad we can just buy these kind of cakes at a reasonable price instead of making them ourselves

So pleased I no longer have to make birthday cakes and even more pleased that when I asked my children what sort of birthday cake they would like they always picked profiteroles. Simple to do and fantastic to look at and eat.

  Lol, I had to google what profiteroles are. Those are simple to make indeed and always present nice

When things start looking this bad – buy a giant bag of M&Ms are cover all of it. Simple and everyone will love it.

I never tried a unicorn cake at home because of the disaster it could be and I can relate to that mum totally.

I bet you it still tasted yummy, and the best thing it’s made out of love

I don’t know if I should laugh or not as I could just as easily fail!
The problem with cake mix packs is that they don’t give you the right ingredient quantities or proper method. You definitely need to add one more egg than they ask for, and you need to cream the butter and sugar together prior to adding any other ingredients.

Just goes to show how hard they actually are to master – no, I have never attempted one!

Ah but the added sugar pearls and sprinkles make it so much more magical than the Coles pastel effort.

Cakes are so much more difficult to make then they appear to be. There’s so much more to making a decorated cake then cake and icing. No wonder paying someone to make one is so expensive
