    Im a competent baker but sugarcraft is not my best thing, so I do use the experts as much as possible.

    1. No, but, It depends on how ambitious you are. A madeira cake is best. Easy to bake, tastes good and not too delicate for icing.

    2. Yes. I don't know where you live, or how much time you have but decobake have everything. http://www.decobake.com/. Homestore and more have lots, I cant remember if they have coloured paste.

    3. It depends on what you want to do. If you have time, how about buying a sugar paper picture of peppa pig. This is a good supplier - https://www.facebook.com/irelandtopcake



    Let us know what you want to do and you'll get specific advice.
