Unicorn… everything.
And now unicorn… Mr Kipling cakes.
Gloriously, we can pretend that we’re buying them for the kids – when, in fact, we’re most definitely buying them for ourselves.
The cakes have just been released in the UK, emerging on shelves in Asda stores within the last week.
However, the brand says that more stockists are being rolled out this month and next: the slices will be available at Tesco and Sainsbury’s from mid-March, followed by Morrisons and the Co-op later in the year.
Premier Foods is expected to bring the treats into Ireland soon too – although we don’t have an exact released date yet.
They’re made using vanilla sponge, are filled with vanilla mallow, and topped with purple and yellow icing. The unicorn slices are on sale for £1 initially – rising to £1.75.

“The trend for mythical unicorns shows absolutely no signs of abating, from slippers to tea pots; we simply can’t get enough of these magical creatures,” Premier Foods said in a statement. “Mr Kipling has made our fairy tale cake dreams come true.”
Taking to social media to announce the news, Mr Kipling: “Did someone say unicorns? Our NEW Unicorn Slices are definitely not a fantasy… you can pick yours up from Asda today!”
We reckon these would be perfect for kids’ birthday parties (or alternatively, for munching on when they’ve all gone to bed).
