You knew it was coming, right? I mean, I can’t believe I didn’t think of it before now: A UNICORN Cake Roll. If this cake doesn’t scream DOROTHY to you, than you don’t know me very well.
I love anything to do with rainbows, sparkles, sprinkles, and unicorns. Currently, thanks to the newest food trend, I’m O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D with Unicorn theme in all of the things. This is my first unicorn recipe, but it’s not going to be my last, that’s for sure.
Jordan’s sixth birthday was a rainbow party. We had rainbow cupcakes and rainbow cookies and lots of rainbow fun. It was then (6 years ago) that I decided I wanted my 40th birthday party to be a rainbow theme too, because I love them so much. Guess what? This year I turn 40 (in September) and am planning a big celebration. It’s not every day that adults are allowed to throw a birthday bash for themselves, so I’m doing 40 big. My theme is still rainbow and it’s evolved to rainbows and sprinkles (because, duh, sprinkles make everything better) and now it also incorporates unicorns because I want to unicorn all the things.
I’m planning to make sprinkle cookies and maybe some fun celebration cookies, and of course, this Unicorn Cake Roll. Because WHY NOT
