I personally have not tried this cake yet but I have seen several posts where it has been said that it isn't too hard. Looks like layers of icing out of a large tip..maybe a star??I'm not sure.

I haven't tried it yet, either, but everyone who has done it has said that it's pretty easy to do. I plan on trying it when I get a chance!!

Is it a star tip? I was going to use a hair tip.

if you have the grass tip it is super easy..like a 3 (1 easy-10 hard) you can make it with 2 cupcakes for a little one or you can use 2, 8 inch rounds. Cut one in half and put together like sandwich (cut sides down) to form the body. cut the 2nd one in 4ths and use one section for each leg. you could use a cupcake for the head/nose. go to town with the grass tip and add fondant or candies for eyes and nose. top woth a fondant/gum paste or real bow.

Does anyone have Sylvia Weinstock's book "Sweet Celebration"? In it she has the directions for a shaggy dog cake that looks just like this cake.
