Last month my daughter turned 7 and while she didn't pick out a theme for her birthday, like she has in previous years, she did make it known that she wanted a unicorn pinata. So of course I went with a colorful unicorn theme for her birthday and her party. I've already posted about how I made her a Unicorn Gift Bag, and now I'm back with a rainbow unicorn parfait that I made for her after school birthday snack. I got the basic idea from HERE while searching for unicorn treats.
I used a large container of whipped cream, divided it into three bowls and used food coloring to dye it pink, blue and purple. I crushed some Nilla Wafers and also used mini marshmallows and purple sprinkles for the topping.
Using clear cups, so the kids could see the rainbow parfait layers, I started with the purple whipped cream followed by crushed Nilla wafers, then pink whipped cream and more Nilla wafers.
Then I added blue whipped cream, and more crushed Nilla wafers followed by purple whipped cream. I topped it all off with the purple sprinkles and marshmallows.
My daughter was super excited to see such a yummy treat for her after school snack.
And speaking of school, they really went all out for her birthday. Not only did she get a crown, a sticker and a special pencil, her class made her a birthday book.
She told her classmates what she wanted for her birthday and they all made sure to include it in their birthday wishes.
FYI: She did not get a dog, hermit crab, or a computer, I'm sure they'll be on her Christmas list. Luckily she didn't even care because she had that unicorn pinata. Check back later this week for a post about her party and the sad demise of the pinata.
