- pudding mix & extra egg for more of a homemade taste
- 2 cans frosting (colors/flavor of choice)

Instructions
- Make the cake mix you are using according to the box. I like to add an extra egg and pudding mix for a more homemade taste. Then pour the batter into your pans. Bake according to the instructions (or watch until cooked through).
- Once the cake is cooled, I trimmed some of the top off so that the cake would lay flat on the sheet pan. Then cut out a horn by cutting a tall triangle. Then cut two pieces to look like ears.
- Place some parchment paper down and lay the circle (as the head) then put the horn and ears on top. Once you are happy with your design, attach the pieces with some of the frosting.
- Use a spatula to frost the head, horn, and ears with the white frosting. Carefully spread the frosting on the sides and top in order to connect the ears and horn.
- Then use the purple frosting (or color of choice) to make stripes in the horn alternating with the white.
- Next use some decorating icing to put inside the ears and make the eyes and eye lashes. I piped a "5" in the center but you can leave it blank if you would prefer.
- If you want to make a mane, add some purple frosting to a piping bag and pipe it along the side of the face. Then add sprinkles wherever you would like.
- Serve and enjoy!
