Pig Cake
About the cooks: There's a cake decorating course at Queens Walk Community Centre every Wednesday afternoon. It's run by Broxtowe College at the Meadows Education Centre. Here's one to try at home:

Ingredients:
Fondant Icing
Tylo Powder
Gum tragacanth
Edible Glue / Egg white
Raw Spaghetti
Food Colour Pastes

Method:
Firstly, roll four balls of paste, each about the size of a marble and arrange them in a square.

Next, take a longer piece of paste (about the size of an egg) and roll into a ball. dab a little glue on the top of of each of the smaller balls, then place the larger ball on top.

For the tail, take a tiny piece of paste and roll into a thin pointed sausage. take a cocktail stick and insert into the boday. Wiggle this around to enlarge the hole. Touch a little glue into the hole, then insert the tail. Twist this around to make it curly.

For the snout take a small peice of paste, roll into a ball and flatten it slightly. Glue onto the head of the pig. When in position, use a cocktail stick to mark the nostrils.

For the ears, roll two very small balls, the shape them further into a cone shape.

Using a cocktail stick put on the ear and roll side to side to leave a groove. stick the ears on top of the head.

For the eyes, use an edible pen or a paintbrush dipped in food colour paste.
