Pig Or Bear

Did I tell you about the second cake I was supposed to make this week? It was for my son, and he wanted a fully carved Pig out of red velvet cake. You know, so that when you carve into him he “bleeds”. Yes, the humor of a 9 year old!

Anyway, not really wanting to carve anything out of red velvet I started trying to talk him into ANYTHING else! I have the 3D stand up Teddy Bear Pan, and I’ve made that thing into every animal imaginable (the Easter Bunny and the Puppy at the top of the page are both using this pan). So I try to talk him into a sitting pig. I was going to go so far as to put him in one of those tuxedos you see waiters wear. He said no. So I ventured into the “Biker” side. A Leather pig complete with a heart tattoo on his arm that said “Mom”. Nope! So I started settling into my pig carving fate, when I thought I would show him just what you can do with this type of pan…and then he saw what he really wanted–and I got to change that carved, red velvet pig into this…

Is he honestly not the cutest thing EVER!!  He matches the hockey puck (above) cake from last year!  Good Choice my boy!
