Not sure if I’m brave enough to attempt this! I’m sure mine are going to look like a five year old made them. Haha

I’m rubbish too, can’t bake many things that are edible

That's fine - just say they were made by a 5 year old - no one will know!

I just need to work out how to make a biscuit that looks like a brown agouti

Aw that’s easy! Make the biscuit then sweep around the bottom of the cage a little, lots of hairs down there

Threads have titles which are generally a guide to what's on there.
Go to Home/Forum and seek . . All the best.

I think it’s rather rude asking people to chat in the middle of a competition thread. If you are bored why don’t you start designing a guinea pig cookie or biscuit to look like one of your piggies?

That’s a great idea

My Mum always says you can’t be bored if you are busy. Strikes me that @Nuggettheguineapig just needs to find something to keep them self busy and then they won’t be bored.

My Granny always used to say that boring people are bored. I'm sure you're not boring though @Nuggettheguineapig! You can always cuddle a piggy or find something to do around the house.

Maybe they should ask their Mum for something to do around the house.
I love it when my kids offer to do something like that, and then she and her Mum could bake guinea pig biscuits together for the competition

I have warned the OH that we‘ll be baking piggie shaped cookies at the weekend - he looks absolutely thrilled

I told the OH that I’d be making GP biscuits and he said I hope you’re not expecting me to be Guinea Pig, he knows all about my baking disasters I have actually set lettuce on fire

I’m so looking forward to seeing the results of everyone’s efforts.

 

[rp1993]

I’m just looking forward to eating mine.. not gonna lie

 

[Bill & Ted]

I’m going out tomorrow to find something edible to create eyes and some type of furry texture (well not actual fur) I’ll know what it is when I find it

A grass tip for piping frosting might work for a furry texture.

Thank you, now I’m a little uncertain about how to achieve it. Enlighten please, last time I piped icing was my sons Caterpillar cake, he now 39 it looked great, then I managed to drop a plate from the shelf above where it sat waiting to add the candles It tasted nice but looked like someone had trodden on it!

 

[RedLoredAmazon]

I haven't done it myself personally, but I remember watching my mom decorate cakes when she had a cake decorating business. I included a video that shows how to use the grass tip with buttercream icing.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone's dessert that they are making!

Wow that’s amazing! Thank you, I have some icing cones so I will have a look, not sure if there is one like that? I did have one with a very small hole which might work if not, they are old tin ones that a great auntie gave me a long time ago x
