I have been meaning to write a post about how to make an icing hedgehog since Bob’s birthday. Time has disappeared and it is nearly time to start planning her next birthday!

I made the hedgehog to go on Bob’s woodland fairy birthday cake but Bob enjoyed playing with him so much that he lost his spikes.

I still wanted to share this with you as it is so simple to make and so cute!

You will need:
Regal Icing
Colouring – brown and beige
Chocolate Vermicelli
Black writing icing
Edible glue (I make my own, click here to see how.)
Method
1) Colour a small amount of icing beige and approximately 4 times as much brown.
The amount you colour will depend on how big you want your hedgehog to be.
2) Leave a small amount of brown icing to one side for the nose and roll the rest of the icing into two balls.

3) Work the beige ball into a rounded pyramid shape to make the head.
4) Indent the brown ball with your thumb, add some edible glue and attach the head.

5) Using the black writing icing add 2 dots for eyes.

6) With the leftover brown icing roll a small ball and stick it onto the front of the hedgehogs head. Then start pushing vermicelli into the hedgehogs body.
