George Pig cake from supermarket?

andrealm

I'm having a joint birthday party for my DDs but wanted to get 2 cakes so they can have the right number of candles on them for their ages. I can get a Peppa Pig cake from Tesco but has anyone seen a George Pig cake anywhere?

Thanks

I bought a Peppa b/cake from Morrisons, didn't notice a George. Could you alter a Peppa with coloured icing, most of the top seemed to able to be picked off.

( I know this because it was rtc and I fed it to the seagulls at Folkestone )

just back from Asda, lots of cakes inc Peppa,& a nice winnie the pooh, but no George Pig.

If you can't find a ready made one, then a search for "George pig cake" brings up several toppers on ebay (icing sheets, ricepaper and 3D) - you just need a plain iced cake, or a victoria sponge and some icing, and you're away.

I often end up doing this with my three as they never seem to like the 'in thing' - and they enjoy decorating their own cakes too (a pack of chocolate buttons is all you need, although the sky is the limit obviously).

Thanks for the ideas but might just go for the easy option and get a Dora cake from Asda for DD2, that should go down well. Have already bought a Peppa cake for DD2, who has requested "a Peppa cake with angels on it" Not sure where the angels idea has come from.

Having looked online Asda seem to have the best selection of birthday cakes,better choice than Tesco and Sainsburys.

We're recovering from tummy bugs here but should be better in time for the party.
