Hair Gets In Your Eyes: Sheepdog Cake

Gad I love this guy's face. I just want to cuddle him and pet him and feed him multi-colored milk bones and be his dog mom forever more. Sadly, he's going to be feeding himself to a bunch of super cute kids. Yes, Shyloh's 4th birthday cake - and to top it off, this sheepdog cake has pastel pink and green cake layers! What! This was a fun order, a remake of an older cake I designed - the very sheepdog cake that was featured on Bon Appetit a few years ago - yeah, sweet!

Thanks for the fun order, Genieve!

Question - what type of dog would you like to see in cake form, Coco Cake Land style? I've got a plan to make more of these puppies! (ha)...

Animals Round-up!

Oh I love doing animal themed cupcakes and cakes. Love it, love it. Cracks me up every time. Here's a selection of some recent animal themed Coco Cake cuteness.

Remember these little bulldogger faces?

Pre-cake pup drawings for cute Olivia's birthday cake and cupcakes!

Vanilla cupcakes with bulldog pup faces!

Even old Sheep Dog is back for another round of partying!

Olivia has a doggy named Henry who looks just like this cake which is why she ordered this one!

Panda party and lion cuteness for Warren and Roxana!

When pandas and lions meet...

Mooooooooo! Brown cow cupcakes for Susan,
who ordered them for her visiting colleagues at Canadian Beef!

Heehee!

Yay animals!! Until next time Coco Cake World,

Who Let The Dogs Out!

Yep. I did just call my post that. Woof!

How much did I love doing this hilarious sheep dog cake and cute little bulldog cupcakes? So much. Last year, Melissa ordered a "rat" cake for her best friend Tina's birthday. This year, for Tina's 30th, it was "dog" themed... ! Plus, they all went to Vegas. Not too shabby of a birthday, I must say!!

The sheepdog is actually a dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream underneath the furry white vanilla buttercream and fondant eyes, nose and tongue! The little bulldogs are Coco Chocolate, with fondant faces.

Get ready for a picture explosion below!

Kibbles n bitz and bitz and bitz.

"Hello.... are you even LISTENING to me, Sheepdawg??"

Bulldog and party flag!

"It's just me"

"I'm a different bulldog!"

Oh it was tough to say goodbye to this face.

"Must love dogs"

Sheepdog feeling a bit claustrophobic.

"Just the four of us... "

Loving these animals cakes! So fun.

Til next time, Coco Cake Land!
