Burberry Dogs

A family friend asked me to create a cake for her daughter-in-law's birthday.  She wanted the cake to have her daughter-in-law's two cairn terriers and she wanted one of the terrier's to be wearing a Burberry coat.  She had a cute story about walking by a dog boutique and the female terrier kept pulling on the least to go in.  When they went inside she remembers the Burberry coat they tried on the terrier.

The male terrier is being naughty pulling the ruffles off the cake.

The female terrier looking like the perfect fashion diva in her Burberry coat.

This was a practice cake for a family dinner.

My Dad threw a swamp-themed pig roast this summer.  He looked everywhere but couldn't find an alligator to use as part of his decorating.  I decided to help him out with an edible one.  He's made out of carved lemon ginger pound cake covered in fondant.

I was testing a new technique for icing the cake with this one.  I'm pleased with the way it turned out.
