The Chocolate Dog Cake

Zeke's birthday is Christmas Eve.


This year, per Zeke's specific request, we had "a chocolate dog cake." At first, I thought I'd do a variation on our annual bunny cake. But I couldn't figure out how to make the head look doggy.

Instead, I used an 8" round, which I split and filled for extra height and interest (and taste). Then I used parts of another 8" round for the ears.

Add some candy features and voila! You have a chocolate dog cake, capable of delighting a three-year-old boy.
