Peppa Pig cake or ballerina cake?

3 replies

My dd is 3 in July & I want to make her a cake she will love. She obviously adores Peppa but she also found a ballerina cake (Betty crocker I think) on YouTube with a barbie type doll in it and the cake as it's skirt which she says she loves too.
I make cakes all the time but have never tried anything 'themed' before.
Has anyone tried or got recipes for the above 2 options and which do you think I should do?

The doll cake is easy. Buy a doll at pound land, make a cake in a Pyrex bowl. You may have to cut the legs off the doll. Cover her boobs in sugar paste like a boob tube, stick her in the hole you make. Pipe over the join. Edible glitter adds to the effect.

I've done both. Neither is too complicated. I did the same as Dr seuss but made a bodice out of ribbon rather than icing and covered the skirt with little sugar flowers (the cheap ones you get in a box, not home made fancy ones). When I made peppa I did a flat cake as if I was looking down on her iyswim and it was sooo easy. Used pink liquorice alsort for the eyes and bought a pink icing pen to define the dress and her nostrils. Made her curly tail, arms and legs out of pink fondant icing.
I would decide which based on how many you need to feed as the doll/bowl dress doesn't cut into as many slices as a big rectangular cake shaped into Peppa can.
