Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. You can use whatever flavor you like, but it's good to match your flavor to the color you want your horse. For example, if you want a white pony, use a vanilla cake mix. For a brown pony, use a chocolate cake mix.
  2. Grease 2 9" round cake pans. Divide the cake mix into each pan. Bake as instructed.
  3. When cakes are done, allow them to cool for 30 minutes. Remove them from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool thoroughly.
  4. Print out the templates, or use your own if you draw well. One will be the shape of the body, the other gives you the shape of the tail and head. Cut out the template shapes.
  5. Freeze the cakes for about 10 to 15 minutes. Firmer cakes will not crumble as much when cut. Slice off the very top 'dome' of the cake to make flat, even surfaces.
  6. Arrange the template shapes on top of the cakes and use a knife to cut out the shapes.
  7. Arrange the shapes on a cake pan. Chill the cake again if necessary, to avoid crumbs getting into the frosting. Add a smooth layer of frosting in your desired color. For a white pony, use pure white frosting. For a brown pony, mix vanilla and chocolate frosting to the deisred color. If you want, you can tint white frosting purple, blue, pink or yellow with food coloring. Just make sure to give it a smooth, even coat of frosting.
  8. Take frosting in a complementary color and put it into a piping bag. Decorate your pony by giving it a mane, adding lines to the tail to look like hair, or to draw on it stars, hearts or whatever you like.
  9. Put a candy melting dot for the eye.
