Unicorn Sprinkles Shaker

A unicorn in the kitchen should have a job, and this one gets sprinkle duty. The Gift Republic Unicorn Sprinkles Shaker is a plastic shaker you fill with sprinkles to decorate cakes or ice cream sundaes. That is the whole proposition: a familiar bit of dessert decorating, handed over to a mythical creature. It suits the baker whose enthusiasm for unicorns extends beyond eating the occasional rainbow-colored cupcake.

At 4 by 3.5 by 1.25 inches, it is a small novelty with a specific use, not a grand addition to your baking equipment. It works best as a gift for someone who already enjoys decorating desserts and appreciates a little silliness in the process. If the unicorn shape does nothing for you, there is not much reason to choose it. If it does, sprinkle duty suddenly looks like the better kitchen assignment.
