I decided to make a Puppy Dog Birthday Cake for my son’s 2nd birthday. My inspiration for the topper was his favorite stuffed dog that he sleeps with every night.
I sculpted the dog out of Wilton’s store bought fondant. I attached his arms and legs by just dabbing a little water on the body and sticking them on. For the head and tail I used toothpicks plus a dab of water. I used an edible food pen to color on his spots and eyes.
The cake was a regular 9 in round three tier cake covered in pre-colored Duff’s store bought fondant (I find this fondant easier to work with when covering cakes). I wrote my son’s name on the side of the cake by rolling out different colored fondant into snakes and then forming them into letters and I again attached them using dabs of water. I also cut out dog bones and placed those around the cake.
My son’s face lit up when he saw his cake. That was all the thanks I needed!
wow that’s cool, I love the way you have done the letters.
