Sheesh. I just finished making poodles and a wood floor for the cake (which is a table) to sit on. I'm glad I took the day off, at least I got somethign productive done. Watched (or listened really) to a LOT of bad TV!

They are SO adorable. If you lived closer I would loan you my pink poodle cake plate to display them on. The wood grain turned out very well, looks like wood to me.

Can you tell me why the wooden skewer in the mouths? I know they must be there for a specific reason but can't figure it out.

Is the wood there to keep their mouths open until they dry?

If those were my grandma's poodles, their toenails would've been painted bright red! (Ah, the memories. lol)

Yes, the skewers are holding their mouths open while they dry. I had a lot of sag action happening today. Must be the weather.
They'll be munching on noodles when they get on the cake. So, I needed a good hole to stick it in. LOL

Thanks!!

Got it! I knew there had to be a simple explanation. By the way, here is my Pink Poodle cake plate, would this not be cute with your Poodles on top of a cake, sitting on this plate?

Not much of a story. LOL.
Hannah wanted a poodle party for her 5th birthday. Somehow it turned into Oodles of Noodles and Poodles. Then she said she wanted a bowl of noodles on the cake. Suddenly, this is what happened. Here's a sketch of basically, what I'm thinking. I dont' know that I can pull off the tablecloth, but we'll see what happens. Fondant actually ON the cake, makes me crazy. I'm pretty good at sculpting, but not at covering.

Okay, first - what an adorable design! I have the same thing as you when covering a cake thumbsdown.gif , but I can sculpt pretty well. It's a tablecloth right? How about just draping it over the cake-even partially covering it, and you want the wood table top to show anyway, don't you? I think this is going to be one cute cake thumbs_up.gif

Great idea, but the wood is the floor icon_wink.gif
So, I wanted the bottom tier of the cakes to be covered in the drapey fondant. I figured that I might have a better chance at teh drape than actually covering a cake without wrinkles. This way, they are supposed to be there!! icon_smile.gif

Just color me green with envy/jealousy. Those have definitely got the "WOW" icon_surprised.gif factor! A tutorial would be great. I wouldn't have a clue how to start.
