I decided to make a cake for my niece for her 3rd birthday. I have always enjoyed baking but never decorated a cake so this Peppa Pig cake was an exciting challenge. I knew how to make a basic sponge so I started by making the cake:
8oz self raising flour
8oz butter
8oz caster sugar
4 eggs
I started by mixing the butter and sugar together. I gave it a quick whisk then I added each egg gradually and mixing together with an electric whisk. Then I added the flour by folding it into the mixture. Once complete I then whisked the mixture until pail color
into the tin and baked on a fan assisted oven for 25mins, gas mark 6.
I allowed the cake to cool before adding jam and cream!
The decoration:
I tried a few things, it just seemed to work. I printed a Peppa Pig picture off and used as a guide. I stuck the pictures on the cake with icing as I was not sure what to use.
All of this was completely new to me but I was very proud of the outcome.
