Special tip on how to get yellowish buttercream, white:
Add just the TEENSIEST bit of violet gel paste to your yellow-tinged buttercream! You'll usually need no more than just a touch on the tip of a knife!
Add, mix, and then compare a bit of the original yellowish buttercream (so make sure to save a spoonful before you add color to it) to the new.
Once it's ALMOST white, DO NOT add more violet. As buttercream sits, its color deepens.
Too much and your buttercream will turn gray, so be careful!
I used Sprinkle Pop sprinkles for both of these unicorn cakes.
