Thats funny doug and you are right! I was thinking more like a black leather collar with deadly spikes coming out of it. But this pink girlly collar was the customers request. Thank goodness she didnt ask for pink bows too.

GUYS I AM GETTING ALOT OF REQUESTS FOR A TUTORIAL ON THIS CAKE. I'VE NEVER DONE A TUTORIAL BEFORE. IS THERE A SPECIAL PLACE IN CAKE CENTRAL TO DO ONE?

No, actually, you just need to contact Jackie or Heath and make the suggestion. Let them know that lots of people have asked for it, and if they are interested, you'd be happy to do it! Jackie was the one that contacted me for the roller tut. because it was becoming popular and lots of people were looking for more info on how to do it. I bet they'd like to have you do one because that cake is rockin'!! I'd try it if I had a tutorial to follow! icon_wink.gif

I might have to make another one and take more pictures. This tutorial stuff is harder than actually making the cake. It took me about 4 hrs to make the cake and ive been working on the tutorial for 3 days LOL!

I would like to add my name to the folks requesting a tutorial. I would love to see how you did this so I could make minor modifications and create a pug (not too terribly different from a bulldog). All of my "pug cult" friends would be so impressed, and I promise to give you all the credit for developing the original design!

THIS CAKE IS AMAZZZZZZZZZING!!!! You did a wonderful job on it..

I sent the picture to a friend of mine and he said "omg thats just wrong" i said "what"? he said "it looks like a beheaded dog and it would hurt to cut it" LOL ..He said it was a great job though but he wouldnt want one..would be thinking about that beheaded dog..lol

LOL. I have recieved alot of replies about it looking like a beheaded dog. maybee next time I'll do the whole dog. but Even then people will say it looks like a stuffed mut. The people i made it for had no problem chopping it up though. actually now that I think about it I didnt see the real dog running around when i delivered the cake. O.K that was alittle disturbing but its all for humor.
