Who doesn’t love Peppa Pig?? Since making these cute cupcake toppers/cookies, I have had the theme song and associated ‘oinks’ running through my head 
These are also really easy to make, so definitely give them a try! See here for an easy Peppa Pig cake tutorial.
Start by cutting out your background colour
Cut out Peppa’s head using an oval cutter. If you don’t have an oval cutter, use a circle cutter and stretch it out gently until it is oval in shape. Gently mark out the lines to cut the nose and then cut the head and attach it to the background using some edible glue or water.
Roll out your red and using the same oval cutter, make a cut at one end.
Cut out the sides and then stick to the background using a small amount of water
Carefully use the background cutter to cut the bottom of the dress off
Roll out a thin sausage of pink for the arms. Cut into longer pieces for the arms and 4 small pieces for the fingers and then attach to the body.
Roll out two small ovals of pink for the ears. Flatten then and attach.
Roll out two small circles of white for the eyes and attach
Using a dry paintbrush and some red petal dust… gently dust on the cheek circle before using a pink edible marker to draw the nose, mouth and a black marker for the eyeballs.
She is adorable! Love your fondant work.
Wow you sure have a new follower. Great tutorials easy ans simple to follow… and inspiring … thanks
these look awesome! going to try making them for my daughters 6th birthday. Do you have any idea if I made these the day before would they hold up ok?
Hi Angela
Yes – absolutely! You could make the 2 weeks in advance and they would be fine – they will harden and become like hard lollies. You need to make them at least 24 hours in advance so that they will harden – I would personally make them at least a week in advance. If they are two soft, then once you place them over the cupcake icing, they will absorb the moisture and lose their shape

Thanks made the toppers the day before as I only saw your reply at the last minute. They were a hit! Everyone loved them and I feel proud of my creations. Thanks for the idea and advice
These look great! What size oval cutter should I use? I take it these are standard cupcake size? Thanks for your help.
Hi Sofia
I’ve loaned my oval cutters to a friend, so I can’t measure them, but the topper base (the green part) is the size of a cupcake, so I hope that helps!

Hi, I am making these gorgeous peppa pig fondant decorations to put on sugar cookies (hope they turn out half as good as yours). What is the best way to stick them on the cookie and how far in advance should I make the cookie toppers? Thanks
Hi Tania
You can make them at least a month in advance (I still have my peppa pig ones!!!) you just have to be careful to keep them out of the sun. They may still fade a bit.
To attach them, simply brush some water or syrup onto the cookie and stick on top

Thanks so much x
Hi
These are amazing! I followed your directions exactly and have 18 peppa toppers ready to put onto cupcakes tomorrow. my question is how to put the toppers (which have set and are flat) onto the cupcakes (which generally rise in a mound). i dont want to pile on buttercream icing to make it flat, and if i try to bend it around the edges it might crack.
should i cut the tops off the cupcakes to make it flatter or do you have any other ideas?
Hi Amanda!
Well done on making the toppers. I leave the cupcakes as is and then pipe on a swirl and then i place the topper on top and gently press down a bit. The topper stays flat and you have a nice amount of icing between the swirl and cupcake
Hope that helps!!

Definetely gonna try to make’em…will let you know how they turn.
Hi
Firstly love your website…just a quick question my niece is great fan of peppa pig like most kids these days and she wants me to make a peppa pig cake… could you use the above concept on a cake and if so how would you go about it would you use the base fondant to cover the whole cake or use the above idea as a cake topper??
Thanks
Namrita
HI Namrita!
thanks for stopping by
Yes – you absolutely could! You could make the images the same size (cupcake size) and change them slightly for each character and have those characters go around the cake? Or you could make a giant peppa one for the top of the cake
Hope that helps!

Hi Bronnie
Yours are the cutest toppers I’ve seen and exactly what I’m looking for. I’m making Peppa Pig cupcakes for my nephew’s birthday party. If I make the toppers a week or two ahead, do you recommend make up each topper as you go, or cutting each set of components as once so that you have an assembly line sort of arrangement? I am worried about drying out all the pieces and having to start all over again. Also, what’s the best way to store them? Have you ever heard of them sweating in a tupperware container? Thank you, thank you!
Hi Karin – thankyou for your lovely message!! Much appreciated
I would definitely make up each topper 2-3 even a month in advance. I kept my peppa pig toppers for about a year before my children found them and ate them
They will just harden like lollies.
I usually make mine on a baking tray lined with baking paper and then leave them in a cool place away from the sun until I’m ready to use them. You could put them in a tupperware container but without the lid. Then, when you are ready, make your cupcakes, ice a swirl and press the hard topper on top! I also just did a figurine tutorial for Peppa if you wanted to try that? You could have the actual peppa in the centre cupcake http://bronniebakes.com/2013/03/05/how-to-make-peppa-pig-from-fondant/
All the best!

Hi,
I’m a complete novice, but since doing a cupcake decorating course a few weeks ago (we just covered buttercream swirls and some basic sugarpaste flowers) I’ve decided to have a bash at some cakes for my sons birthday. He would absolutely love these!
I’d just like to know if I can use ordinary icing (have been using a ready made one) or do I need to add something? When I did the course, we used Tylo(?) powder so we could roll the icing for the decorations thinner.
Thanks x
Hi Natalie
Thanks for stopping by!
I use the store bought fondant (I buy bakels brand) and yes, I add tylo powder to anything when I am making models, or anything that needs to harden (like these toppers)
Hope that helps

I’m so excited and nervous at the same time, to try and recreate these for my daughters 3rd birthday party! I have never used fondant before, do I have to add anything to the store bought fondant for it to harden or will it just harden over a couple of days?
Thanks Sarah! I’m so glad you are excited about making these toppers
Yes, you will need to buy a hardening agent. I use tylose/tylo powder and add it at a ratio of approx 1/2 teaspoon to 250g of fondant. Hope that helps! And all the best!

Hi , can I use gumpaste instead of fondant
to make the peppa toppers? Thanks
Hi Michelle
Absolutely! I turn my fondant into gumpaste by adding the hardening agent, so you can definitely just use gumpaste (I use my method as it is cheaper)
thanks
