Unicorn marshmallow pops make the world more magical – it’s as simple as that! Look at how cute this gooey treats are. The Decorated Cookie has step-by-step instructions with video included, making this the perfect unicorn party food idea.
Unicorn Cake Pops
I actually squealed when I saw these unicorn cake pops – how could you even eat them, they’re way too cute! Just Add Sugar’s detail on these is gorgeous, but achievable for making at home.
Unicorn Sandwiches
We knew these as fairy sandwiches when I was little, but they would work just as perfectly as a unicorn party food idea.
The cut-out can be anything – a star (like this one from Pizzazzerie), heart, initial or number stand out well – and multi-coloured sprinkles like traditional hundreds ‘n’ thousands work best.
Unicorn Cake Cones
Kids (and adults) will love these unicorn cupcake cones from My Heavenly Recipes – they are ideal for parties, bake sales or just a weekend treat!

Unicorn Bites
We love this idea from Kara’s Party Ideas for all birthday parties in our house, unicorn-themed or not, and they are universally popular. Dip marshmallows in melted white chocolate or candy melts, then dip into a bowl of sprinkles. Place standing upright in a tray and chill to set.
A word of warning – these are VERY more-ish, so make more than you think you’ll need (we have quite a bit of ‘taste-testing’ in our house!).

The creamy taste is definitely popular, and the addition of fruit to the colourful party table will make you feel infinitely better about all the other sugar treats!
Unicorn Sandwiches
