Coolest Pig Cake 17

Homemade Pig Cake

This pig cake was for my mom's 50th birthday. She loves Harley Davidson so I made this biker pig for her. I used the 3D Teddy bear cake pan from Wilton to make the cake. After it was baked I just cut the bear ears into points to make them look like pig ears.

For the cake mix I used pound cake. I think that it works best when making 3D cakes. For the frosting I used buttercream that I made myself. My mom is a smoker so with the pigs hand up by its mouth it looked just like it was holding the cigarette. The cigarette I made out of marshmallow fondant with a toothpick in the middle of it to hold it in place, and it was easier to stick into the cake.

Then I used black frosting to make the "leather biker coat". On the back I used marshmallow fondant to make the patch.

Everybody loved it.
