    novelty cake for 1 year old

    Hi there, just wondering whether anyone knows of any websites where you can download a novelty cake recipe? Have searched and can't find much (without buying a book or something!). Want to make my own, definately don't want to waste money on buying one. She likes Iggle Piggle from "In the Night Garden" but do you think I can find a recipe anywhere? NO!

    Depends on what type of design you are after. Check out the Nick Jr site, click on "I want to cook" and then birthdays. Amongst the recipes there are a few cake designs (Dora, Ollie, Blue etc).

    Hi I just tried to google "iggle piggle cake" dor world wide search and found a fair few pictures and help. Would you be using the plastic fondant icing or butter cream?

    Butter cream I think. I really can't find a pattern though.

    I have no idea but could you print out a picture and enlarge it and cut it out. HAve a large butter cake slab or whatever and then cut out the cake according to the picture. Good luck. If iggle piggle is the blue one you could just have a rectangle head, skinnier neck and colour the icing blue!

    I am no expert mind you. Good luck

    If you can't get an Igglepiggle shape see if you can find Gumby - similar shape different colour!
