First there were picture-perfect, Instagram-ready unicorn cakes [1]. Then came fat unicorn cakes [2]. And now, "dead" unicorn cakes are on the brink of taking over social media, likely due to the fact that the mythical horn-topped creatures have fully inundated every facet of our lives [3] over the past few years.

Though the first few dead unicorn cakes ever shared on social media [4] are a bit gory and feature red icing to mimic blood, it looks like Instagram user naturally.jo [5] was the first person to go the less-graphic route, crafting a white fondant-covered unicorn-shaped cake [6] that reveals gorgeous rainbow-coloured layers when sliced. Since the 17-year-old (yep, you read that correctly) shared his dead unicorn cake masterpiece [7] with his followers, a few others have followed suit, creating their own renditions. It's truly only a matter of time before these completely take over your Instagram feed because let's face it: it's time to kiss the unicorn trend goodbye.
