I used a teddy bear shaped cake pan to make this Penguin cake.
I cut off the ears and shaped the feet to make it look like a penguin. I used chocolate frosting for the black color and butter cream for the white and orange. I outlined his face and belly with the white, his feet and beak with the orange and then filled them in. I piped a little blue color into his eyes, which were mainly black. It was a very simple cake to make!
so cute! im makin this for my sister, she is obsessed with penguins. thanks!!!
I love it and i wanted a penguin cake for my birthday, and this design looks perfect! Thanks.. and Congrats!
Just made this cake for my 2 year old daughter – its so cute! I iced it and used coloured sprinkles instead of piping (coz I can’t pipe to save myself!) Looks great thanks so much for the idea :)
I love penguins. Every January I have a Penguin Day in my 2nd/3rd grade class. This cake would be perfect! Thank you for sharing!
What tip did you use for the icing??
Thanks for the great comments! I used a star tip for the piping. Probably 16 or 18.. not sure, its been a while…
Thanks so much for the great comments!
I believe i used tip 16 or 18, it was a star tip for sure.
Hi, I loved the look of this penguin and so did my grandson! He was so excited about his penguin birthday cake. Thanks for the wonderful idea.
What type of piping tip was used?
Kerri, I used a #16 or #18 wilton star tip… not sure which since its been a while.
I love the cake and my grand-daughter has to have a penguin (Happy Feet) cake, or so she thinks, for her birthday June 20.
How did you round out the bottom of the cake between the feet? I understand cutting the ears off but looking at the Wilton bear pan I purchased the bottom shape between the feet is different.
Hi Paula, Im not sure about the pan you bought. I didnt have to do any shaping of the cake except fot the ears. The pan I have is a fairly older pan that was passed down to me.
I just purchased the bear pan from Michaels. If I knew an address to send a picture to I could send you a picture. It goes up in the center bottom, that is why I asked. Thanks so much for getting back to me. Alexis’ birthday is today so I will be baking the cake on Friday for a Saturday get together.
Hi Brandy, I absolutely LOVE this cake. I live in McDonough, GA and was wondering if you make this cake to sell? My daughter LOVES Penguins and has been asking me to get her a penguin cake for the last couple of years for her birthday, needless to say I tried making her one and it turned out so terrible that I threw it in the garbage and got her a store bought cake. If this is something that you could/ would do please email me danasnyder@gmail.com ASAP. Please and Thank you
Hi Dana. I emailed you. I apologize if its late, I JUST got the notification of your message. If you didn’t get my email let me know.
Thanks
Searching for this pan now! Excited to make this for my daughters 3 birthday.
