Start by mixing your cake mix, butter, eggs, and water with a hand mixer on high until well blended.

Pour mixture into cupcake tins, and bake according to box instructions.

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.

Separate your icing into two equal portions.

Color one portion of icing pink with the red gel food coloring and the other blue.

Fill one side of your piping bag with pink icing and the other side with blue icing and place large star tip on the end.

Frost each of the cupcakes in a single layer moving form outside to inside the cupcake. Set the cupcakes aside while you make the unicorns.

To make the unicorn heads, break off 12 small end-of-thumb sized pieces of white fondant and roll each of them into balls. Press and roll one end to a more narrow section, about half the size of the other end. Repeat until you have 12 heads. Set the heads aside.

To make the unicorn bodies, break off a piece of white fondant about the size of 3 thumb-ends and roll them into balls, then flatten the center. Repeat until you have 12 bodies. Set the bodies aside.

To make the legs, break off a piece of white fondant about the size of 1/2 thumb-ends and roll them into balls, then flatten the center. Repeat until you have 48 legs.

Press the 2 legs on each side of each body.

Press one head on one end of each body.

To make the hooves, pinch off 48 small 1/8 end-of-thumb sized balls of orange fondant and roll them into balls, then flatten two sides. Repeat with all 48 hooves. Press a hoof on the end of each leg.

With a toothpick, dip it in the black gel food coloring and then draw the eyelid/eyelashes onto each unicorn face.

With a second toothpick, poke two nostrils on the end of each unicorn face for a nose.

Pinch off a tiny piece of orange fondant and roll it into a slight cone shape with a rounded shape. Use a toothpick rolled across the surface of the horn horizontally to make the textured lines on the horn. Repeat to make 12 unicorn horns. Press a unicorn horn into the center of each unicorn head.

Pinch off a tiny portion of pink, blue or purple fondant and roll it out into a long, very thin snake. Gently lay this snake onto the unicorn's head right at the base of the horn. Repeat with as many of the colored snakes as desired.

Pinch off a small portion of pink, blue or purple fondant and roll it out into a long, thin snake. Gently lay this snake onto the unicorn's rump between the back legs to make a tail. Repeat with as many of the colored snakes as desired.

Place a unicorn on top of each cupcake and enjoy!
