nitoa's cake:

nitoa described their cake:

My cake is actually about sixty cupcakes in the form of one 3rd-birthday dog. First, while my mom baked the cupcakes, I drew out a pretty-darn-close-to-life-size Chickensmoothie dog, based upon the basic adoptable line art. Then, I began to arrange the cupcakes on top of the dog, which was on top of an aluminum foil-covered slab of cardboard. When the shape was slightly recognizable, I sliced up some extra cupcakes and tooth-picked them on to the sides of the dog's face, in hopes that it would make the dog look fluffy. Also, to make the dog less lumpy, I cut the edges of the cupcakes that bordered the outside. Afterwards, I iced the entire thing with regular-colored and purple-colored vanilla frosting (to look like a cake dog), and added chocolate icing details (the eyes, nose, mouth, and feet) using a neat squeeze container that we purchased at the store. Lastly, I added a "3" candle, and a balloon that happily proclaims "Happy birthday CS!" p.s. I included the last picture so that you judges could see the size of the cupcake dog. Please don't post that particular picture. Thank you! C:
