# Directions:

02 - Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add alternately with milk to the mixture. Divide batter evenly into four bowls, adding a different food coloring to each. Layer colored batters into cupcake liners. Bake 18 to 20 minutes and cool completely.
03 - Beat butter until creamy. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar until smooth. Add milk and vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy. Divide frosting into bowls, tint with colors matching cupcakes, and fill a piping bag with the colors side by side. Pipe swirled frosting atop cooled cupcakes and adorn with edible glitter and sprinkles.
04 - Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Slowly add superfine sugar, beating until stiff peaks develop. Divide meringue into portions and tint with desired colors. Pipe small kisses onto a lined baking sheet using a star tip. Bake at 200°F for 60 minutes or until dry. Cool fully.
05 - Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour until combined. Roll dough to a ¼-inch thickness, cut into unicorn and star shapes, and bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool thoroughly, then decorate with pastel royal icing and edible gold dust.
06 - Arrange cupcakes, meringue kisses, and sugar cookies on tiered stands. Scatter rainbow marshmallows, pastel candies, edible stars, pearls, and unicorn toppers to complete the presentation.
