Article: Start by baking your cake. Bake the cake in a rectangular pan. You will use the rectangular cake for the base of your Peppa Pig cake.  The base cake can be any flavor you want. Chocolate, yellow, and white cakes make good basic cakes that go well with icing. You can bake a cake from scratch or from a box. This is entirely up to you. Make sure to let the cake completely cool before continuing. To cut your cake into the shape of Peppa Pig, you need to make a stencil. Cut the paper stencil out and place it on top of the cake. This will be used to shape the cake. There are two ways you can make a stencil:  If you have access to a printer, search the internet to find a Peppa Pig coloring template. There are many available that are large pictures of the character on a white background. Make sure the picture you print out is large enough to fit most of the cake.  If you can't print out a stencil, take a plain sheet of paper and trace the picture of Peppa Pig from your computer screen. Or, if you can hand draw, draw the outline of Peppa as you look at the image on the computer screen.  You can make a cake from any character from Peppa Pig, including George Pig and Mr. Dinosaur. Use a sharp knife to gently cut the cake around your paper stencil. Try to get the edges as close to the stencil as possible, but it doesn't have to be perfect. You will place icing around the edges.  Use toothpicks to secure the stencil if it won't stay.  You can cut Peppa's ears separately from the extra cake you cut away if you are having trouble cutting around the ears at the top.
