The classic holiday conundrum: How to throw the perfect celebration that celebrates not only your love for the season, but your eternal love for unicorns. It’s 2018, my friends, and that particular problem is a thing of the past—at least, now you can buy a three-tier Christmas unicorn cake at Sam’s Club. This ridiculously Instagrammable creation features one layer shaped like Santa's belt, another layer of Christmas-colored powdered sugar, and the top layer is a baby Santa's head for what might just be the cutest holiday theme you've ever seen dessert.
This cake isn't just about upping your gram game, though—it can also be a serious money-saving tool. This three-tier cake serves up to 66 people and retails for $69.98, which means you can feed an entire office for just over $1 per person. (Well, if your co-workers happen to be me, that's two to three bucks per person.) If you don't have "quite" that many people to feed, you can also opt for a smaller but equally majestic two-tier version of this cake, which sells for $39.98, serves 46 people. Like the three-layer version, it's very rare.
The good news is, if you're looking for a more non-denominational unicorn, Sam's Club has your back—in addition to the Santa version, the chain also offers three- and two-tier winter unicorn cakes, Decorated in icy blue and white. While I respect that it's a winter unicorn, that respect doesn't stop me from also calling it the Elsa Unicorn because it basically looks like she sneezed on a Christmas unicorn cake , making it frosty.
Both cakes come with vanilla or chocolate cake sides—if you'd like to order one, you can call your local Sam's Club ahead of time to ensure it's available for pickup on the big day. Pro tip: You can buy two different flavors of Unicorn to get the most out of your holiday season.
If this unicorn cake looks familiar to you, that's because you've probably seen a version of it before; in March, Sam's Club launched a rainbow version of the unicorn cake at the same price. This one features a rainbow surrounding the base layer, colorful sugar pellets and majestic golden horns.
From then on, 2018 became the year of the adorable three-tier cake. Sam's Club later released a mermaid version, and then another to celebrate Mickey Mouse's birthday. Basically, if you have a cute theme in mind for your next celebration, Sam's Club might have a three-tier cake to match whatever your mood is. Granted, my next "holiday" will most likely involve me marathon-watching Hallmark/Netflix/Lifetime holiday movies in my red plaid pajamas, which may also come in matching dog versions, but if you can't justify ordering two layers of pajamas The Christmas unicorn cake is to be taken to the face alone, when is it okay ? See you all on the other side.
