I made this Peppa Pig birthday cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. I am a cake virgin and could burn water, so my husband had a trip to Adsa for a shop bought one on standby!
The cake is a sponge, I made it from a recipe in the Good Housekeepers cook book, although it was a 2nd attempt. The first attempt was a disaster because I miscalculated the cooking time for our convection oven. It was so heavy, it could have held up my house!
I used pre-rolled icing to cover it, and coloured icing for Peppa Pig and the balloons. I traced a picture of Peppa Pig and cut out the shapes of her face and dress. The icing letters were done with icing tubes and written in my best handwriting!
My sister Donna was so impressed, she’s commissioned a Sponge-Bob square pants cake for her birthday, and I’m going to have a go at a Christmas Cake to take to my mum’s.
My daughter loved it and there was no need for that trip to Adsa!
Well done you, this is a great cake and I love your sense of humor!
cake looks brilliant and I’m going to attempt making 1 for my daughter’s 2nd bday which is next week, hope it looks as good as yours
My daughter is two next week and loves Peppa Pig – I’d love to make her a cake and will attempt to copy yours – it looks great! Thank you :)
Ah I love it, my daughter really loves Peppa Pig. She is 2 on the 27th December so bit of a mad one but I spent months practicing her 1st birthday cake which I made so I’m definitely going to be doing one for her 2nd and will have a go at yours. I think, its great. Well done you! x
I think your cake looks fab and I’m going to attempt to make my own in time for my daughter’s 3rd b’day on Friday. Wish me luck! PS. You make it sound so easy!!
i think it is so good, how do you do it. Yours is better than mine.
WOW! This looks great.. I absolutely loved it.. My daughter is a fan of Peppa Pig and she’s turning three in the Summer. I’m tempted to give it a try :-) We made her last birthday at home, it was the Very Hungry Caterpillar. You make this one sound so simple! I wanna make it just like yours.. I hope it turns out just as good!
Fantastic cake – thank you so much for posting the picture and how you did it – many snaps for you. Snap snap. It’s my daughters 3rd birthday in 2 weeks and we’ve failed miserably both years so far to make our own … fingers crossed that this is the one!
Hi
How bizarre – my daughter is also called Molly and will be 3 soon. I am going to have a Peppa Pig Tea Party and I was looking for ideas for cakes etc when I found your cake. It is perfect and I will be making one just like it!
Thank you for the top tips.
I love your cake! I’m going to have ago and make it for my granddaughter Amelia ‘s 2nd birthday. I’m not an expert at icing but your cake looks really easy to do and is very cute. We’ll done to you. S
