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!

I suggest your local food bank or salvation army. If there is no food bank the salvation arm could serve cake for customers? Your local health unit could give you the names of community groups like the alzheimer day camp, or local drop in centers, your local school, graduation is here soon. Or instead of a lemonaide stand....?
