A Unicorn Named Sparkle is the sweetest children’s books series. The illustrations are charming and, I swear, I can hear little Lucy’s voice when I read these books. I had to recreate the Valentine’s Day cupcakes from Lucy and Sparkle’s party, but make them comic because…illustrations!
[Sparkle] cut a heart shape with his horn. It was harder than he thought. He kept trying until he got one that was okay.
A Unicorn Named Sparkle and the Perfect Valentine by Amy Young
He didn’t know how to write, so to say that he loved Lucy’s curly black hair, he made a hoofmark. To say that he loved her great big laugh, he made another hoofmark. And to say that he loved her best of all, he made a third hoofmark. He pressed so hard that it tore the paper.
Happy Valentines Day from Sparkles the Unicorn and the twenty-one cupcakes he ate in one sitting. These cartoon cupcakes from Georgia’s Cakes seemed too perfect for sweet, funny Lucy and her best friend the goat-unicorn Sparkles.
A Unicorn Named Sparkle and the Perfect Valentine is a great addition to a home library!
For the chocolate cupcake, I used my very favorite, chocolate, moist amazing chocolate cake recipe.
For the buttercream, I used my favorite Italian Meringue Buttercream recipe from Erin McDowell, colored with pink gel food coloring and a tiny bit of the maraschino cherry juice.
What’s your favorite Valentine’s Day treat?
