All in all, I’m fairly happy with the end result on this cake. It took me all of yesterday, and a few hours this morning (I finished somewhere around 1:30 after photographing, etc.) and here it is. If this was a full price commission it would have been a little more detailed, but for the money paid (about 1/2 price) I think it’s pretty generous! I’ve included a photocopy of the actual book cover for comparison. Here’s a link for the actual book, Sristi by Sharmila Desai. For anyone interested in ordering cakes, chocolates or any other confections … don’t forget to check out SweetElement!
Shiny chocolate is so hard to photograph!
The buttercream sides of the cake were combed to look like pages.
Side view for a look at the spine.

Actual photocopy of the book cover that I used as a template.
[Just got paid the remainder for the cake, got an extra $10 - and the icing on this order - was being told the cake was worth at least $300 if not more. I love hearing things like that. I've given a whole stack of cards along with the cake, so hopefully this will bring me some more orders and expand the business.]
[Ms. L.P. - I'm throwing down some red ribbon on the floor tonight!!!]
German Shepherd Cake
Posted on: September 6, 2006
There’s times where I just love working with chocolate. Luckily – tonight was one of those nights! I got to experiment with “painting” the German Shepherd in chocolate to place on top of this tasty carrot cake with vanilla coconut cream cheese frosting. I can vouch for the cake since I made some extra for Jay & I … mmmm. Vegetables in cake … it’s HEALTHY!
