I have only been doing cakes for about 6 months in my spare time. Over spring break (I'm a teacher for my day job), I decided to play around with rolled buttercream and some of the new techniques I'd read about. I made a cute tiny little blue cake....certainly not perfect, but I was proud for a new-bee. I tried to create some designs out of royal icing, and my proud hubby took a picture of it for me when it was finished. I have a 2nd kitchen upstairs in our house where I do the baking, so I left the cake sitting on the table upstairs while we went out to dinner. When we came home, the dogs greeted us at the door, and we decided to veg out and watch a little TV in our den. All of a sudden, I heard a loud bang above us. I looked around for Nigel, our Peke-a-poo version of Beelzebub. No where to be found. I ran upstairs, calling for him, and he came bounding out of the kitchen, blue icing all over his face, eyes saying, "What'd I do?" I walked into the kitchen to find this lovely site!! Here are the before and afters.....teeth marks and all!
