Canberra cake and biscuit creators Rosebery St Bakehouse are hosting the capital's first official unicorn party - complete with buckets of pastel-coloured fondant, edible glitter and rainbow buttercream swirls.
Rosebery St Bakehouse owners Lisa Johnston and Jade Sinkovits totally expect you to wear the unicorn onesie you haven't ventured out of the house in yet, and spend all day at the party baking and worshipping the mythical animals along with fellow unicorn lovers.
Lisa said the party was inspired by Canberra's obsession with Rosebery St Bakehouse's unicorn biscuits.
She said the bakehouse sells thousands of the magical pastel biscuits each year, online and at the quarterly Handmade Markets.
Lisa and Jade thought it was about time to they passed the joy of making unicorn biscuits on to some of their more obsessed clients.
People who attend the unicorn party in October will learn how to make their own edible unicorns - in both biscuit and cupcake form.
"We can't make enough unicorn biscuits - they make people happy, young or old," Lisa said.
"We think they're so popular because they're unique - there's enough boring and bad in the world. Unicorns inspire something fun and that's something worth celebrating."
The world's biggest brands have cashed in on a global obsession with unicorns, including the Starbucks unicorn frappuccino and Peter Alexander's brand new unicorn-themed slippers. A two-day unicorn festival was held in Melbourne earlier this month.
Locally, Dickson hair salon Eden Hair and Beauty added magical rainbow roots to its colour menu, while unicorn cakes have been in high-demand for Canberra birthday parties.
But isn't the unicorn fad almost over?
"Hell no," Lisa said.
"As long as there are little girls, boys and children at heart, there will always be a place for unicorns.
"Our unicorn party is going to be a fun, fabulous, unicorn, rainbow delight. It's a day to surround yourself with colour and have a great time with other like-minded people."
The Rosebery St Bakehouse unicorn party, Saturday 22 October, 10am to 4pm. Tickets and more info at roseberystbakehouse.com.au
