This cake was a lot of trial and error. First off, I have only done one other cake in Buttercream, so that in itself was difficult for me. I also couldn't get the roof to stay in place. It took a couple of panels of mistakes to figure out that I need another cake underneath the roof, if it was going to stay up. WOW! I'm glad this one is done! Dogs are made out of gum paste and were the easiest part of this cake. :-) TFL
