Ten Amazing Designs and Recipe for Pigs in Mud Cakes

First up, I will start by saying “THANK YOU” to everyone who has read, liked and shared one of my most popular posts “Top 10 Kit Kat Cakes” because it is thanks to that one post that a lot of you reading this will be following me. While I can’t do another kit kat cake top 10, I’ve decided to expand on one particular version of it…

This was the first pigs in mud cake to go viral anywhere on the web and without it, all of the ones there-forth would never exist, so I had to include it out of respect to the original maker.

This cake maker loved the look of the “pigs in mud” style of cake, but her love of cats just got right in the way so she decided to make a “cats in milk cake!” This is a fantastic little spin on the original design and would have been much, much higher if it had come with a making guide or recipe, which sadly it doesn’t. But that doesn’t stop it looking amazing.

This is what I call raising the bar! This amazing Birthday cake is a 3 tier cake with the pigs in mud on top, held in a fence made from Cadbury’s Finger biscuits and Fudge Fingers! If that doesn’t get your mouth-watering then the ganache topping is sure to finish you off.

Without question, the best bit about this one is the loose chocolate shavings on top of the cake. 2 things make this cake stand out for me, the fact that the cake base was just brought in a shop meaning that there is hope we could all make a pig in mud cake, and the step by step picture guide to finishing it! It really is easy to follow and very well thought out.

Sure it isn’t a massive spin-off from the original design, but the white chocolate kit kat fence really makes it stand out from the crowd.

Pigs in mud cakes do not get any better looking than this, this work of art was done by a baker called “Lambshack” and definitely looks amazing. It would have been my number 1, but there is no making guide or recipe in the link, but boy does it look good.

This pigs in mud cake is very much a Charlotte-style of cake (as seen in my own post “Top 10 Best Charlotte Cakes”) and once again it does look amazing but no recipe or making guide puts me off it a little.

After seeing my top 10 kit kat cakes post radhika25 decided to make this one. The twist with this one is that the maker didn’t have kit kat’s so decided to use Redondo chocolate cookies, I thought it was a great little spin on the original idea and looks even tastier!

You might have thought that without the chocolate bar fence, to hold the pigs in mud in it would look a bit rubbish, well it is time to think again because this looks far from being rubbish and, in fact, looks rather amazing! I feel that the lack of a solid chocolate fence (no matter what it is made from) makes it look even better! Once again no recipe or guide.

There might be an argument that this pigs in mud cake are more like the cats from the number (9) and that they are in fact in milk! But for argument aside, this is one of the best spins on the original design and looks beautiful. Sadly there is no recipe or making guide, but then again you just need to change a few things from the original recipe to match it. Simply stunning.
