I originally published this article back in 2010 after I made this cake for my daughter Issy's birthday.
She wanted a Hedgehog cake, and I knew that Tesco sold ready made Hedgehog cakes.
Unfortunately, they had stopped selling them a few months before Issy's birthday, and so I was reduced to grabbing cake making items frantically, and then creating a cake on the fly from imagination.
I was rather pleased with the result though.
After several webspace changes / webspace deletes etc. I thought that the pictures of the cake were lost, but I was pleased to rediscover my cake pics in my Google Album Archive.
I did notice that someone had swiped a pic and added my hedgehog cake to a "Top Ten" list of hedgehog cakes on the internet.
So once again, XX years later... Here is how to make my easy Hedgehog cake.
You will need the following ingredients:
- Several small Toblerone's for the Spikes.
- Two white chocolate drops for the Eyes.
- One Malteser for the Nose.
- Two Matchmakers for the Whiskers.
- Two Large Chocolate Swiss Rolls for the body.
- One pot of Betty Crockers Chocolate Fudge Icing.
And then do the following with those ingredients:
- Put the two Swiss rolls together and trim them into approx. hedgehog head and body shape.
- Plaster that body shape in Betty Crockers Icing all over.
- Use the icing while still wet to glue the Toblerone spikes to the body.
- Add nose, whiskers and eyes.
- Dot of icing in middle of each eye.
Job done. Happy Daughter!
This cake is super sweet. Your teeth will hurt and wiggle while you eat :-)
