Cake decorating tips:My friend from New York was out visiting and having some friends over. Knowing food would be needed, I asked what he'd like me to bring. He asked what my specialty was, so i jokingly responded "roast pig." To my surprise, he said "that sounds great! Let me know if you need help digging the pit for the roasting." I couldn't show up at his house with a huge real roasted pig, or empty handed...and somehow i didn't really think he believed me when i said "then that is EXACTLY what you will get", so i decided to surprise him with the next best thing....A piggy cake!
There was no set instructions or ingredients that i could find for a cake like this, so i began to construct the cake on my own...off of what my interpretation of what a pig cake should look like. I ended up having to shape the cake by shaving off excess cake and finished it all off with fondant. I even used a squiggly pink candle for the tail, which was lit and blown out as is any candle's custom.
Come cake serving time, my friend's eyes were huge as he sliced right into the neck of the poor pig, to reveal delicious Strawberry cake with a whipped cream and fresh sliced strawberries center. It was a hit!
Do you have a great cake idea?
