I've been seeing these beautiful cream tart, letter & number cakes trending all over social media & Pinterest and wanted to create my own, one which I don't think has been done yet. A unicorn cookie cake!
Unicorns are my favourite magical creature and I love making them into desserts as you can never have an 'over the top' unicorn! The more glitter and sprinkles...the better!
The cookie contains only 3 gluten-free ingredients which is super quick & easy to make and tastes delicious, kind of like shortbread!
The frosting compliments the sweet cookie perfectly, along with fresh fruits for a juicy and fruity flavour.
I've seen a lot of these tarts, cookie cakes (whatever you want to call them) on social media containing eggs, but haven't yet seen a really simple, vegan recipe...until now!
This recipe is 100% vegan, gluten & wheat-free!
These desserts have fast become a bakers favourite and I can see why.. they're delicious and look beautiful! A real centrepiece!
This unicorn is such a fun treat to make and would be perfect for events, parties, occasions etc!

To make the cookie
Step 1- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees c and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
Step 2- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, melted coconut oil and maple syrup.
Bring together with your hands until a dough forms.
Add more flour if too wet or coconut oil if too dry. You want it to be a smooth dough.
Step 3- Roll out the dough then using a large round cookie cutter or stencil and knife, carefully cut out the doughnut shape and place onto the lined tray.
Step 4- Pop the cookies into the oven and bake for 9-10 minutes until golden in colour.
Step 5- Once baked, carefully place them onto a cooling rack and allow them to cool fully before decorating.
To make the frosting
Step 1- In a bowl/stand mixer, cream the butter on high then add in the icing sugar and vanilla.
Add in a splash of dairy-free milk if too thick.
You want the buttercream light and fluffy.
Step 2- Transfer the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip nozzle.
Step 3- Lay a cookie down and pipe bulbs/peaks of the frosting all over, then lay the other cookie on top and repeat.
Place on your favourite toppings (I listed mine in the ingredient list).
With extra dough I had left over, I cut out 4 small triangles and 2 large triangles for the ears and horn.
I piped peaks of buttercream and stacked them as I did the main body of the unicorn.
Sprinkle on vegan sprinkles, edible glitter to make it even more magical!
Serve fresh or store in a sealed container, the buttercream will firm up at room temperature.
Best eaten within a few days of making!
