Teacher's Pet

My favorite teacher commissioned me to do her husband's 60th Birthday cake. I was honored. He wouldn't allow her to throw him a party for the big day, but she still wanted to surprise him with a cake. You see, they love their German Shepherds and that is what she asked for. She wanted two German Shepherds on the cake to represent their two babies (dogs). I was so pumped to make this cake! As I made the bones for the "60" I was cracking up. They were so dang cute that I couldn't get over it!

Then I began to make the dogs. To begin, I used a brownish base color for the whole dog and then later added the black parts. Before I got to the black parts, my mom walks past me and it went a little something like this:

Mom: "oh you are making Kangaroos!! How cute!" :D
Me: "No, Mother, they are dogs" >:#
Mom: "Oh. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH!"

Thanks Mom.

But once she saw the finished product, she was impressed!




















To top it all off, my fabulous teacher (ex teacher now...I graduated!) loved it so much and ordered some mini cupcakes for a party she is having today! It couldn't have gone better!

I guess you could say I'm the ultimate teacher's pet. ;D
