This cake can take as little as 5 minutes to decorate!
I am always on the lookout for ideas that are cute and EASY. Easy is definitely the key word here. Even with only 1 kid (I know some of you are juggling 2, 3 or more!), I don’t want to spend any more time than I have to on toys, cards, or even birthdays. BUT, I do want those things to be as nice and special as possible. So, I was so excited when I found this great Dog-shaped Birthday Cake idea on Pinterest from The Experimental Home.
(*Sidenote, you can follow my Pinterest Page here).
Step 1: Cook your cake in 2 heart-shaped pans. Then cut one cake in half, in order to make the ears.
Step 2: Freeze to get the cake solid (and to help it not crumble when you frost).
Step 3: Decorate
Step 4: Enjoy!
My good friends made this wonderful version of the cake for their son’s 1st Birthday. By using small dots, it makes a beautiful cake! *But it definitely took more than 5 minutes.
I went a little simpler on my version, but still think it turned out great. I used a plain white frosting, and mixed in some food coloring to give it a grey color. Then, we used some black decorating gel to divide the ears from the face, and for the eyes, mouth and nose.
Voila! Took me about 5 minutes to decorate this cake, and it was a big hit with the family and our 1-year-old (although he mainly just loved eating it!):-)
