Harry's 1st Birthday Party

My favourite part of this job is when I hear back from a customer after the event telling me that they enjoyed their cake.

What I love even more is to receive a photograph of the cake 'in action'. Every now and then, I have a customer who is happy for me to share their picture with you all.

It is my absolute pleasure and privilege to present to you, Harry the dog.


"Doesn't Harry look proud!" Harry's Daddy



Look at him licking his lips! Awwwww!

The Birthday party was a huge success and much fun was had by the dogs and humans too.

Yes, my work here is done.

Bow-Wow-Wow

The crowds of people gathered around my dayjob office on Friday. I love it when a cake gets people so excited!

The brief was as follows: a chocolate cake was required to feed the human guests at Harry the dog's 1st Birthday Party. Harry's Daddy had already ordered a special dog cake online - a cake made from various dog treats, designed to look like a cake - so I thought how fun it would be to give the humans a cake designed to look like dog food! How very topsy-turvey!



Harry's real-life dog bowl is red with little white bones on it, so I designed the cake to match this. How confused he must have been.



My absolute favourite detail on this cake is the dog crunchies in the bowl. Sadly, I cannot take credit for this as it was my Mr who suggested using breakfast cereal to top the cake. Not only was this the perfect aesthetic, but I have enjoyed two bowls of chocolate cereal this weekend as a result!

Tasty...
