# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Set the oven to 350°F. Line cupcake trays and baking sheets with liners or parchment as needed.
02 - Cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating thoroughly. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually incorporate into wet ingredients alternately with milk until smooth.
03 - Divide batter into four separate bowls and tint each with a different food coloring. Layer the colored batters into cupcake liners, then bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely on racks.
04 - Beat softened butter until creamy, gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well. Add milk and vanilla extract; beat until fluffy. Divide frosting into separate bowls, tint with food colors, and load into a piping bag in separate stripes for a layered swirl effect.
05 - Pipe the colorful frosting onto cooled cupcakes using a swirl technique. Garnish with edible glitter and themed sprinkles.
06 - Beat egg whites with cream of tartar to soft peaks. Gradually add superfine sugar, continuing to beat to stiff peaks. Tint portions with food coloring, then pipe star-shaped kisses onto lined baking sheets. Bake at 200°F for one hour until dry. Cool completely.
07 - Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Incorporate egg and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in flour to form dough. Roll out to ¼-inch thickness, cut into unicorn and star shapes.
08 - Bake cookies at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes until edges begin to brown. Cool on racks, then decorate with pastel royal icing and edible gold dust as desired.
09 - Artfully display cupcakes, meringue kisses, and sugar cookies on tiered stands. Scatter rainbow marshmallows, pastel candies, edible stars, pearls, and mini unicorn toppers to enhance the visual appeal.
