How to Make a Pig Cake

Supplies need to make a Pig Cake:

2 Boxes of Cake Mix
Pink Icing
White Icing
Blue Icing Gel
Black Icing Gel

Directions:

Prepare cake mixes according to directions on box.

Both mixes should be baked in round pans. One pan should be smaller than the other. These two circles will create the body and head of the pig. Use excess mix to bake a small square or rectangular cake, to be used later for the ears and legs.

When cakes have cooled, use a small amount of icing and affix the smaller circle cake in the middle of the larger circle.

From the square or rectangular cake, cut out two rectangular legs and two triangular ears.

On a cake board, arrange the pieces to form a pig.

Ice the entire pig pink.

Use the white and blue gel to create eyes.

Use the black gel to create a tail, a nose, and a mouth.
