Bakin' for a livin'

If you remember about a year ago, I was making cakes for baby showers and birthdays like it was my job, then I got a job and really haven't had the time since!  Well this last weekend, we had a friend ask if I could make a cake for her daughter's 5th B-day.  So of course I jumped at the opportunity!  Abby's parents got her a minature dauschund for her B-Day named Copper.  Similar to this little guy...

So Thursday night I started baking and before you knew it I had a cake that started to resemble a dog...

Or a Platypus... with a mow-hawk??

I got tired of washing my hands to take a picture after each step

Turns out Copper is boy - but Miss Abby LOVES pink, so the pink collar was a hit!
