Pigs in Wedlock Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Molly used her amazing Creator Creator moulds to create a standing and lying down animal shapes, which will be turned into our Pigs in Wedlock.  Alternatively you can carve the shapes from 2x 10” square cakes using rice krispie treats for the head. Once you have the desired shape, it’s just a case of covering with a thin layer of ganache.

Molly rolls out two sheets of sugarpaste and shows two different techniques for covering the cakes. All very straightforward just taking her time to massage the sugarpaste to fit the shape of the cake and merge joins.

Using a mix of texturised green sugarpaste and chocolate ganache, Molly creates a suitable board covering for a farmyard wedding.

Time to give our piggy bride and groom some character. Molly adds their legs, tales, noses and eye sockets. All using very straightforward techniques, it’s amazing how quickly our little pigs are taking shape.

We are starting to build the characters now as the eyes get added. The eyes say a lot about the character so the direction and look will help to determine whether we have happy, intrigued or annoyed pigs. Molly opts to have the bride looking very happy with herself, with the groom looking on in a disapproving manner.

Adding the bride and groom’s clothes make this a distinctive wedding scene. You can decorate any way you choose, but Molly shows how, with simple techniques, you can bring our bride and groom to life in their wedding outfits.

You don’t have to airbrush for this cake to look great, but Molly shows how to add simple shading and shadows to really finish off our Pigs in Wedlock cake.
