Tips & Tricks (5)

Buttercream Brilliance 🧁
Ensure your buttercream is at room temperature and whipped to a smooth, light consistency for the most adorable pig frosting texture.
Marshmallow Ears Perfection 🐷
Cut marshmallows diagonally and dust the cut edges with a light coating of pink decorating sugar to create realistic, dimensional pig ears.
Cake Mix Magic 🥣
Add a tablespoon of sour cream to your chocolate cake mix for extra moisture and a more tender crumb that holds its shape perfectly.
M&M Nose Placement 👀
Use tweezers to precisely place pink M&M's for the nose, ensuring symmetry and a cute, precise piggy expression.
Frosting Technique Hack 🎨
Use a large round piping tip to create a smooth, even base layer of pink frosting before adding final decorative details.
