We have a cake decorator type shop near us that hire out shaped tins, that's what the middle one looks like to me!
Good luck.....

OMG I've got it easy!
MB loves chocolate. If I make a chocolate cake of any description he's thrilled. It can look like someone's sat on it for all he cares!

I've made some terrible cakes in my time!
Once made (assembled) a zebra cake which was basically a swiss roll on legs, standing in chopped up green jelly, with a cardboard zebra head stuck in one end. I think I forgot the tail.
Once elder DD had a swimming party so I did a tray bake with blue icing and stuck Playmobil figures up to their waists in it. One of the guests asked what the cake was. 'What do you think?' I said. He replied 'erm, an ice rink?' :-0
chotimonkey....you know we will all want to see a photo of this cake don't you??? :-)

larsti when i tried to make George a tray bake cut out car cake for his bday it all fell apart and i had to smoosh it together with icing in the shape of his (v short) nickname so it could be a rival for the zebra |

Do a try bake and stick it together a la the second picture from Tok.
I use a roasting pan as the cake tin to get a large base to limit the sticking together. Bake the cake then freeze it to make it easier to cut out. Get a photo of a unicorn head/body (or a horse and add the horn) and cut out a stencil on greaseproof paper. Cut out the shape on the cake and freeze it again before you ice it (if you are using butter cream) to stop the crumbs mixing up with the icing. If you want to give it height mix some cake off cuts with cream and spread over it (I did this for a tortoise cake) and then freeze and butter icing it. Red laces for the mane?
Good luck and as Moo says, lets see the photos!
