Karl Pilkington Cake

Ahhh this is my first official cake post how scary! It was my very good friend Niki's birthday on Wednesday last week i wasnt going to see him until Saturday and me and the bf decided to surprise him with a cake. 

One of his fave people in the world is Karl Pilkington as in the "little round headed Manc twat" i used the cartoon version of Karl from The Ricky Gervais Show as inspiration.

(I love this!!) so i made a standard vanilla round cake, and made one extra to cut out the ears.  This left me with loads of leftovers that me and the bf could snack on (added bonus).  To decorate i used vanilla buttercream with a little bit of red food colouring to make it pink.  For the details i used black sugarpaste (like royal icing but better for moulding!) you can get all these things in big supermarkets which is amazing as previously i had to go to specialist shop.  So anyway here is the finished product:

 What do you think??
