You will need:
- Little Debbie Unicorn Cakes
- Pastel cupcake wrappers
- Regular-size marshmallows
- Mini marshmallows
- Black edible food marker
- Gold food coloring mist
- White candy melts
- Flower sprinkles and small candy decorations
- Pink sugar sprinkles
- White fondant
- Toothpicks
Step 1: Draw two simple closed eyes on a regular marshmallow using a black edible marker. Keep the lines soft and curved for a sweet expression.
Step 2: Cut a mini marshmallow in half on the diagonal to form ear shapes. Dip the cut ends into pink sugar sprinkles so the inner ear is colored.
Step 3: Melt the white candy melts according to package instructions. Use the melted coating as edible glue to attach the mini marshmallow ears to the top of the marshmallow head.
Step 4: Attach flower sprinkles and other small candy decorations to the top of the marshmallow head with a dab of melted candy coating to create the unicorn’s floral mane.
Step 5: Roll white fondant into two thin sausage shapes. Taper one end of each piece so they can be joined and twisted into a horn shape.
Step 6: Pinch the tapered ends together, then twist the fondant ropes around each other to form a spiral horn. Let the horn dry completely so it keeps its shape.
Step 7: Once dry, spray the fondant horn with gold food coloring mist for a metallic finish.
Step 8: Use melted candy coating to attach the gold horn to the top center of the marshmallow head.
Step 9: Insert a toothpick into the bottom of the marshmallow unicorn head. Push it in far enough to be secure but not all the way through.
Step 10: Turn a cupcake wrapper upside down and slide it over the toothpick until it meets the bottom of the marshmallow head—this forms the frilly base of the cake pop.
Step 11: Place the assembled marshmallow unicorn head onto the top center of a Little Debbie Unicorn Cake, pressing gently so the toothpick anchors into the cake for stability.
Step 12: Adjust any decorations as needed. Add extra sprinkles or candy accents to the wrapper or mane for a personalized look.
The result is an irresistibly cute marshmallow unicorn cake pop—sweet, no-bake, and ready to delight party guests.
