This Basset Hound 50th Birthday Cake was made for my friend’s aunt’s 50th birthday. I used a 9 inch round for the body, halved and put together upright. I used pampered chef prep bowls for the legs. The head was made with half of the Wilton small ball pan. I used another small round cake to cut the tail piece and a round piece added to the face for the snout.
After putting the pieces together with frosting and skewers, I froze it over night. I crumb coated the cake and froze again for about an hour. I used a star tip to frost the cake with vanilla and milk chocolate frosting. I colored some of the vanilla a lighter brown color. I used MMF for the nose and ears. I also used left over pieces to make the red dog toy, with red colored vanilla frosting.
The recipient was very pleased with her cake. I like it too!
