Do you have a novelty cake decorating book with a car in? If not, I could scan and email one i've got.
I'm exactly like you two Julie and Rach ... I'm petrified when someone asks me to do a cake but when it's done, i'm just so relieved it's finished and not an entire flop. But i also see the mistakes i've made and don't think it's as good as everyone else's cakes. Must just be us women!! Men don't worry as much as us do they?!

Hi Rach,
I"ve had a look at the peppa pig car and the one i have, and they are different shapes. Why don't u use a loaf tin to make the cake and then you can just cut away the edges and make the holes for them to sit in. I think that will the easiest.

HEY WHAT A GOOD IDEA..NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND....might have to do two and stick together as it needs to feed about 30 kids..but thanks for that..
If you get any more ideas please let me know..all would be gratefully received..any volunteers to make the cake would be better.....
Or if no volunteers why dont we all make the cake and compare could be a good learning curve.. Or if you want I could run it as a competition the best one wins a cake prize..I have a lovely new cup cake book with loads of recipes in I could offer that as a prize....
Let me know what all you think and we can take it from there...

Now there's a good idea! Count me in. It'll be fun to have the same project but see how everyone comes up with a different version.

brillant..dont forget its a peppa pig car cake...I have to have it finished by the 28th January...
Everyone try and do it and post pics..and as its a kiddies cake if there is a local childrens ward or something you could always donate it and get your name around abit aswell.... The more who do it the better it will be and we can all compare...
Anyone else interested just let me know on here thanks

Perhaps you should post this under showcakes or competitions and start a new thread because i'm not sure everyone will see it here. just a thought
