🚨 Make sure a grown-up helps you as sharp equipment is involved! 🚨

STEP 1

Download our Pudsey template by clicking on the button above and draw around it on yellow paper.

STEP 2

Go over the line in a thick black marker pen, then cut it out carefully.

STEP 3

Take your paper cake case and place it in the middle of your yellow Pudsey, draw around it making sure that the circle is a little bit bigger than the cake case so you can slide your cake half way through it.

STEP 4

Place some sticky tack underneath and push a pencil through, you can then cut it out. This bit is a little tricky so you might need some help from a grown-up!

STEP 5 

Break up the chocolate and heat it in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in-between until the chocolate has completely melted. Make sure you wear oven gloves as the bowl could get HOT! Grab a grown up.

STEP 6

Pour the chocolate into the rice puffs and STIR STIR STIR!

STEP 7

Spoon the chocolate mixture into the paper cake cases (don't worry we wont tell anyone if you lick the bowl!). Leave to set for 20 minutes. 

STEP 8

Push the yellow Pudsey half way up the cake case, now you are ready to decorate!

Using the Pudsey template as a guide, draw a Pudsey face onto the cake using the black icing and fill in the bandage using coloured sweets.

HAPPY BRING AND BUYING!

Oh, er, we'll take one too if there's any going spare...
