First Birthday
A friend asked for a puppy cake for her son for his first birthday. Next time I will save the collar for the neck to cover the joint. Since it is for a dear friend who, in her words, couldn't frost a sheet cake, I figured it would be ok. Devils food, covered in mocha buttercream and MMF. Eyes, nose, tongue, and collar done in GP. Puppy dusted with cocoa powder to bring out the "hair" detail.

Well-Worn Cowboy Hat
My first attempt at a cowboy hat. Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache, covered in MMF. The "trail dust" is cocoa powder dusted over entire hat. I had a beautiful, smooth hat pictured in my head, but this is what came out. Oh, well! My son loves it and has already claimed his birthday piece, so that is what counts.
