My cake is actually 24 arranged cupcakes. The cupcakes are arranged to form the smiling PPS dog from August 2009. I used plain white frosting and then dyed it two shades of blue. I then looked at the picture of the PPS pup and used a cake decorating tip to recreate the patterns. I changed the large white swirl to end in the number 3 to represent ChickenSmoothie's 3rd anniversary. I also mixed a little red dye and black dye for the eye and outlines. To top it all I added three pink candles, that match his eye, to complete the celebration!
