ok I have just been asked to do a peppa pig birthday cake.....HELP...
Not sure which way to go..whether to do a big peppa pig cake..or to do the cake as her car with peppa pig and dad in it...Or as they live on a tall hill..do that as a cake then model peppa pig etc on the top..
What do you all think..or do you have any ideas...
Thanks
Rach x ;D

Hi Rach, You Panicking??? I'm sure you will do a very good cake for her whichever she chooses. I thiught the character would be difficult unless you had a tin? But the car one you can use the car shape wilton pan and then cut the inside or somwething? Good luck anyway and let us know what you decided to do...

Hi Rach,
I think the idea of peppa on a hill might be quite nice, making it 3D. Never even heard of peppa till now!! Looking at the modelling of peppa, i don't think it'll be too bad.
Good luck and let us know what you're going to do.

Hi Shianne, that's a good idea actually, can use the wilton brbie mold and then use that as a base with characters on top. In fact i might use this idea. Hope you don't mind?

I should think you would get away with it even if not exactly the same. as long as there isnt a picture of the car and pigs along side it.

okay...
Need some tips now..has anyone got any ideas of how to do this peppa pig car cake...at the mo thinking about baking a square cake and cutting into a car ish shape prob have to double the cake up..then cutting in that way.........why couldnt she have gone for a hill.....
The about covering it not sure if to cover if first in white then red paste or just to do the whole lot in red then stick on some wheels not sure if that will look okay.
Any thoughts please.....
