This Little Piggy Cake represents the nursery rhyme “This little piggy (went to market…etc etc)”. I made it for my daughter’s first birthday. Each pig represents one of the five pigs in the rhyme.
I made up two chocolate cake mixes – one went into a round tin, the other mix was split into six cupcakes with the remainder into a shallow rectangular tin.
Four of the cupcakes were turned into little piggies, by adding hot pink icing (add red colouring to white icing to achieve desired colour). Lollies were added for the facial features. Obviously the obligatory pink marshmallow for the snout, plus smarties for the eyes, pieces of red jube for the mouth and piped icing for additional detail. The little icing flowers I picked up in the supermarket.
The main pig was made up of the round cake, with ears cut from the cake in the rectangular tray. Another cupcake was attached with icing for the snout, then the whole lot was covered in hot pink icing.
Again sweets were added for the additional features – including a jube flower on piggy’s head. Pink and white sprinkles provided detail to the ears and cheeks.
that was so easy to make thank you so much
