# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Set the oven to 350°F. Prepare cupcake trays and baking sheets by lining them as required.
02 - Cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating well. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients. Divide batter into four bowls, tint each with food coloring. Layer colored batters into liners and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
03 - Beat butter until creamy. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly. Add milk and vanilla extract, beat until fluffy. Divide frosting into portions, color each with food coloring. Fill a piping bag with the different colors side by side. Swirl frosting atop cooled cupcakes. Garnish with edible glitter and sprinkles.
04 - Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add superfine sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks develop. Divide and tint meringue with food coloring. Pipe small kisses onto lined baking sheets using a star tip. Bake at 200°F for 60 minutes or until dry. Cool completely.
05 - Cream butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour and combine to a dough. Roll dough out to ¼-inch thickness. Cut shapes using unicorn and star cutters. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool fully before decorating with pastel royal icing and edible gold dust.
06 - Arrange cupcakes, meringue kisses, and sugar cookies on tiered stands. Scatter rainbow marshmallows, pastel candies, edible stars, pearls, and unicorn toppers around to complete the display.
