I made this cake for my niece Allison’s 4th birthday. She’s such a cutie – so sassy and spunky! And she loves poodles and the color pink! I always have to do something extra girly for her. It is strawberry pound cake, filled with strawberry buttercream, and frosted with vanilla buttercream. I made the bow and poodle from gumpaste, and also painted the poodle’s features, and added some dots for a little extra detail.
