Piggy

I made this pig cake for my 7 yr. old nephew. He loves pigs and really wanted a pig cake, he was very specific that it looked like a real pig, not a "kiddy" pig.

I used an egg shaped pan for the body,the head was a 6" round cake that I shaped, the nose was a cupcake. I iced it with buttercream, and covered it with flesh colored fondant. The "mud" was just chocolate icing.
