I had the idea of creating a Christmas hedgehog cake for some time but it was looking like I wouldn't get an opportunity to make him this year. However, on a quiet day I had the chance! Fortunately my hedgehog cakes do not require days of preparation, just a few hours, here is a photo… The hedgehog cake of Martha's time was actually not a cake at all, but a marzipan dessert decorated with almonds to resemble a hedgehog. I knew a cake would go over better here so we borrowed the appearance only from Martha's version.
Instructions to make Hedgehog Christmas Cake:
- Cut off 2/3 of the roll cake. Cut off 1cm from the remaining cake. Unroll the slice and cut a small hole in the center..
- Arrange the cake pieces as shown in the photo. You can use whipped heavy cream as glue..
- Dissolve 1 tablespoon of both the cocoa powder and the instant coffee in hot water. Add sugar to the heavy cream and whip until soft peaks form..
- Divide the heavy cream in half and add the cocoa to one half and the coffee to the other until colored. Whip until firm peaks form..
- First coat the cake with the coffee cream. Use the cream to form a point for the nose area..
- Coat completely with coffee cream. Pile up a little bit extra cream on the top..
- Place the cocoa cream in a piping bag with a tip and pipe onto the top of the cake leaving no spaces, as shown in the photo..
- Pipe the cream so that it looks like this..
- Use the chocolate candies to make the eyes and nose. Use the cookies to make the legs. You could also use the coffee cream to make the legs..
- Stick the almonds into the head to make the ears. Mix red food coloring into the marzipan and use that, with the sugar paste, to make the hat..
- This is the hedgehog with no hat..
The hedgehog cake meme was also inspired by the SNL skit where Eddie Murphy was competing in SNL's Holiday Baking Championship skit. The bakers were asked to bake cakes based on holiday childhood memories. Eddie, who played Mitch, explained that one of his favorite memories was playing video games on Christmas, hence the Sonic the Hedgehog cake. Carefully cut off either side of the measured cake to make the top of the hedgehog, then cut off the front sections of the middle piece of cake to make the nose. Cut small triangles off the back of the sides so there isn't a big overhang at the back of the cake.
