Sweet Farm

3 little piggies

Everybody saw them. Bakerella's unbelievable sweet cake pops. From the first moment I saw them I wanted to make them. And I did. Kind of.

Different angle

For the cake, I used Su-Yin's recipe. It is probably the best chocolate cake I've ever had. I halved it and it gave 17 cupcakes.

To make the dough, bake cake, crumble it, and use heavy cream (Bakerella uses cream cheese frosting) to make it good enough for shaping. I used 5 cupcakes to make 3 pigs, 3 sheep and a cow.

I used this recipe for the icing. And since you can't find any corn syrup in Serbia, I substituted it with green pine needles syrup I already wrote about, and used melted dark chocolate to draw eyes and nostrils.

And some more piggies

A few more things. I got tagged for the E Award by Medena from Café Chocolada (she made some cute piggies too). I am tagging these blogers: Su-Yin from The Journal of a Girl who Loves to Cook, Sandra from Le Pétrin, Ellie from Kitchen Wench, Farida from Farida’s Azerbaijani Cookbook and Tia from Tia Nguyen.

And, even more cute piggies from Babe in the City - KL.
