#### Creating the Unicorn

1. **Body and Head:** Shape a large ball of white fondant for the body and a smaller one for the head. Connect the two parts with a toothpick for stability.

2. **Legs and Ears:** Shape four small cylindrical pieces for the legs and two small triangular pieces for the ears. Attach them to the body and head respectively using a bit of edible glue or water.

3. **Horn and Mane:** Use a small amount of gold or yellow fondant to shape the horn into a cone. For the mane, shape thin strips in various pastel colors and attach them to the unicorn's head. You can make the mane wavy for a more natural look.

4. **Eyes and Mouth:** Use black fondant or edible markers to draw the eyes and mouth. You can add small white dots inside the eyes to bring your unicorn to life.

#### Decorating the Cake

1. **Covering the Cake:** Cover the cake with a layer of white fondant and smooth out the surface with a fondant smoother. Make sure the fondant is evenly spread and free of air bubbles.

2. **Placing the Unicorn:** Place the unicorn on top of the cake. Use a bit of edible glue or water to secure it in place.

3. **Marshmallow Decorations:** Add extra decorations around the unicorn using marshmallows. You can create flowers, stars, or any other shapes to enhance the magical theme of the cake. Arrange the marshmallows in pastel colors to maintain the whimsical feel.

By following these steps, you can create an impressive birthday cake that will be the talk of the party. Enjoy the process and have fun creating!
