I was asked to make a Peppa Pig Cake for my friend's little boy who turned 2 last week. Peppa pig is his favourite and he had a Peppa Pig themed party. I've never made one of this before so I did a little research on the internet and decided to give it go. Luckily it turned out well and the birthday boy was extremely happy! He wanted a chocolate cake so I made my trusty Nigella Chocolate Cake which never fails. I baked the cakes on the first day, decorated on the second day (approximately 3 hours) and served it on the 3rd day. The cakes remained moist and delicious and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I also made cake pops with the cut offs but those were less successful.
I enlarged and printed a picture of Peppa Pig that I found on the internet to use as my template 
I made a double recipe and baked 1 round and 1 square cake 
Using the picture as a guide, I cut out the head 
and the body 
covered in chocolate buttercream and placed in the fridge to set 
I used the pic as a guide to cover the board with fondant 
I used blue fondant for the sky and green for the grass. I cut some cloud shapes using white fondant and rolled out 2 white circles for her eyes. The pupils are edible black icing as I didn't have any black fondant 
The 'muddy puddle' is made of chocolate icing and I cut out the shape of the number 2 to place on her body 
The finished product
making cake pops 
I forgot to shape the ears! oops!
I decided to try out my new food coloring markers that I bought from America 
However, it didn't work well on the cake pops so I ended up using writing icing for some of them 
Not brilliant but it passes for a pig! Happy Birthday again H !
