With Halloween just around the corner, it's the perfect time to check out Hostess' new limited-edition Unicorn CupCakes. It's the perfect go-to dessert option for birthday parties, Halloween treats, or for an afternoon pick-me-up snack.

The dynamic Unicorn CupCakes are as vibrant as they are delicious. The desert boasts a rich creme filling that's complemented with purple and pink bits. Atop the decadent cupcake is a delicious teal frosting and to finish this magical aesthetic, the desert as a pink verticle decoration -- replicating a unicorn's horn.
