The Doodle Cake

[Camilla and Darwin]

Well, I have been practicing layered cakes for the past few months, and I'm down to the last week. Next week is my friend's wedding, and I am doing her cake (panic stricken look). I decided that my last practice would be to just make a 14" round (which is the size of her bottom tier) to make sure I can work with something that big without any problems. That went by without a hitch... and I was left with a huge white fondant covered cake that could serve 75 people. What to do with it? Well, I have been wanting to make a "doodle cake" for quite some time so I made some for fondant and whipped up some last minute cake decorations.

It didn't exactly turn out like I hoped it would, but I guess it's still pretty fun. The dogs came out a lot more cartoon like and generic than I wanted them to... but I really couldn't help that. I realized during the process that making realistic looking fur and realistic looking dogs is WAY above my skill level. So my results were a little... elementary. There was still a lot of white space left so I made some paw prints and a "DK" to finish it off... after all, I did use DK doodles for inspiration! Can you guess what doodles I used for my inspiration? .... I didn't think so. They aren't realistic enough. :-)

Now... does anybody know what I can do with 75 servings of lemon filled white cake? Ha!

Why can I not find a picture of the doodle cake????? As a matter of fact when going to your page, none of your pictures would pop up even when I clicked on view all??? Gremlins again.

This is a very creative and fun cake. We would all like a piece if not the entire thing!

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

That cake is absolutely adorable. Any one of us would love to be able to have a cake with our Doodle on it. It would have been the perfect thing to take to a romp or when we had the Romp Around The World. Maybe you can put together a romp this weekend!!! Wish we lived nearby...we'd be there in a heart beat! Great job!
