# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cupcake trays and baking sheets as required.
02 - Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Divide batter into four portions and tint each with different food colorings. Layer colored batters into cupcake liners and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
03 - Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly. Add milk and vanilla extract, then beat until light and fluffy. Divide frosting into separate bowls, tint each with chosen food colorings, and load side-by-side into a piping bag. Swirl colored frosting onto cooled cupcakes and garnish with edible glitter and sprinkles.
04 - Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add superfine sugar while beating until stiff peaks develop. Divide and tint meringue with food coloring. Using a star piping tip, pipe small kisses onto a lined baking sheet. Bake at 200°F for 60 minutes or until dry. Let cool completely.
05 - Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Incorporate egg and vanilla extract. Gradually blend in flour until dough forms. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness, cut into unicorn and star shapes, and bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool thoroughly, then decorate with pastel-colored royal icing and edible gold dust.
06 - Arrange cupcakes, meringue kisses, and sugar cookies on tiered stands. Scatter rainbow marshmallows, pastel candies, edible stars, and pearls around. Finish with mini unicorn cake toppers for a vibrant presentation.
