Pink Poodle Cake

My 4 year old begged for a pink poodle party that she saw in the Oriental Trading magazine. After I got the napkins and plates I thought the design would be perfect for her cake. I made the poodle and present a week before so they were really hard (made out of fondant). My daughter helps me cut out all the circles and I did the stripes the day before. The cake was a success! A lot of the Moms thought it was fake at first.

Editor's Note: Thanks, Connie. The cake came out gorgeous. Also, thanks for sharing the info about how some of the parts were made ahead of time. That's the kind of practical advice our readers love.
