One of my very favorite customer requests is the Pigpen Cake. There is no holding my breath while trying to level the layers and crumbs are your best friend. The messier the better!
How to:
The little pigs are made of fondant (store bought works just fine). Dye the fondant pink with food coloring. The pig shape is pretty simple to mold…conjure up art class moments and clay! The nose (poke with a toothpick for the nostrils), ears, feet and tail stick with a dab of water. Dot the eyes with black food coloring on a toothpick. Let the pigs dry overnight.
For the cake…whip up your favorite chocolate recipe, add a puddle of chocolate sauce or brigadeiro in the middle and throw lots of cake crumbs in the pen. Add your pigs in a variety of lounging positions…
Oink!
