My neighbors, the dog ranchers, asked me to do a birthday cake for a friend of theirs. This fellow was kind enough to come over with my neighbor while I was in Louisiana last summer to help her clean out and fill the water buckets in my barn. I'd never met him. When the opportunity to do a cake for him came along I was more than happy to to go all out for the neighbors who have done so much for me in the past hard year, as well as repay the debt owed to their friend.
Here is the finished cake. I call it "The Dachsund Garden". Yes, I made those dachsunds myself. I can't blame them on my kindergarten aged child, but only because I don't have one. I'm still not the Ace of Cakes. Duff's "people" make modeling with gum paste look easy too.

Beautiful! I especially like that little trellis action with the blue flowers. Violets? Borage blossoms?
Though the first time I read this post, I mistakenly thought you'd made the cake for the dog. I r a collig gradu8.
very pretty. I hope I can someday do roses like you!!!
SQ, they are supposed to be violets but I myself am not sure they really look like violets. Much like the dachshunds are "reasonable facimiles" of dogs, I'm just going to accept that the violets and roses are reasonable facimiles of the intended subject lol. Thanks!
Thanks Barb, you will! You'll very likely do them much better. I can never seem to get my consistencies correct.
