OK, how did I miss this? Lifesize Basset Cake!!!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Basset Hound Cake lovers! This is just to cool! Since it is Chaps birthday, I was looking around the internet for basset hound cakes and stumbled upon this. How in the world did I miss this?
A world renowned cake artist by the name of Michelle Wibowo, of Michelle Sugar Art, won the gold medal in the Patisserie Showpiece section of the 2008 International Culinary Olympics in Erfurt, Germany.
It is a lifesize realistic hound dog-shaped sugar sculpture . It took four days to complete and consume around 20kg (44lb) of sugar.
The making…..
Wow! Her work is incredible.
Here she is being interviewed after her gold medal win. Just breathtaking…..
What an pure delight to find this on Chaps Birthday. Make sure you check out the drool on the hound’s chop.
The one question that I have that I could not find the answer to, is why did she choose a basset hound. I bet she has one. I will send her an e-mail, along with this blog posting and try to find out.
More sweets for the the sweet later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Accurate in depiction and even in actual weight! Very amazing!
Oh my doG! Whiskers and all! Simply amazing.
Oh my goodness, that hound looks so real. She must have one or a very good friend does, for she knew to add the drool. This young lady has talent.
If I hadn’t seen the video, I would have thought this was a photo of a real Basset.
I can’t imagine anyone eating such a beautiful sculpture.
