Can Someone Help Me Figure Out How To Do This Cake?
Decorating By doodlebugs Updated 29 May 2007 , 3:11am by cambo
I found this picture of this cake and I would love to try to make the Shih Tzu puppy. I don't know who to give credit to for the cake, I don't even know where I got the pic but think it is the cutest thing. I am unsure how to do the dog, if is a smaller cake cared to make the body or if it is just icing. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks
Ohh my he is cute!! I personally have not done this, but I read where they use cupcakes, cut and stacked to shape. Then pipe on the fur. I will take a peak and see if I can find a post on it. Jen
That is too cute.....I want to lick HIS face...LOL!!
What tip would you use to make the fur???? Would it be the same tip that I use to make grass?
My MIL would love that cake. She had a Peek for years and just loved her to death!

HTH some, Jen
looks like you already got help for this. Good luck 
It looks like the star tip to me. Also used to make standard shell borders.

Here is the puppy I did. I used Merissa's instructions in this link.

I used tip 233. Since it's a topper, I would use the Little Debbies.
That is cute! I made a larger version of that puppy, I dont know if it might help. but you could try to scale it down.
