We had just finished dog sitting our friends Golden retriever and it was also their little girls birthday and she really wanted a cake with her and their dog swimming in my pool together. After having Jake (the dog) for a week I could not have done this cake without the pawprints as they were everywhere whilst he was here, he loved to swim then run in the one and only dirt spot in my yard, lol. I added paw prints with love hearts cause I thought they were so cute nad really showed the love Sammy has for Jake,banner and a pair of flip flops for fun. All edible except the 2 lollypop sticks I used for the slide and ribbon. Water splashes out side of pool were on purpose.
