Pony Birthday Cake

Are you ready to make your own pony birthday cake? Here’s how:

Prepare two 9-inch round cakes by cutting their domes off and placing them upside down. You’ll also need pony templates to ensure that the cake does come out looking as a pony. Position the body template on one cake and the head and tail templates on the other. Carve the cake carefully around the templates using a small knife.

Once you have the pieces, position them accordingly on the cake board and begin crumb coating the cake with light brown frosting before placing them inside the freezer for a few minutes. Once the cake has cooled, apply a final coating of frosting on the cake. Make sure the frosting is as smooth as possible.

Now, it’s time to put in the pony’s mane and tail by using darker brown frosting. For the tail, squeeze the piping bag down and release the pressure once you’ve reached the end. Use the same technique in putting the mane.

For the pony’s blanket, you can use pink (for girls) or blue (for boys) frosting. Pipe a square on the body and smooth it using a spatula. You can also pipe in the birthday celebrant’s age on the blanket too.

You’ll also need to add details to the pony’s hooves by piping some dark chocolate frosting on them. Use a large chocolate candy for the pony’s eyes.
