I baked a basset hound cake!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Cake Lovers! I still cannot get over the fact that I baked a cake! I have to tell you that I was inspired by the master chief that did that full size basset hound sugar sculpture! It made me remember that I bought a used basset hound cake pan off of e-bay back in 2006. It was tucked away down in my inventory closet. I was going to put it in my boutique, but I never got around to it. Maybe this was the reason why, or maybe it was the reason why it will be in the boutique in short order! LOL!
I think the last time I baked a sweet was back in 1968! I was 11! Here I am with my older sister Cindy (aka Nin) making cupcakes. I love my hair net!
Anyway, off we go into 2009! Not only was I inspired by the master basset hound sugar sculpture (look down a few postings), but it was Chaps birthday! Sweets for the sweets!
All set up and ready to go! This pan only takes one box mix and a glass of wine! Not for the cake, but for me!
Chaps was laying on the other side of the gate as all of this was going on. He knew Mommy would give him a bite! It may be a bit hard to see, but I love how the evening sun was casting those shadows on our Mayor.
28 minutes later the cake was done! You can barely see the outlines needed to decorate.
Time to get all artistic!
OK, not too bad! It smells better than it looks! LOL
OK! finished product! It took me over 2 hours! Chaps had long left the waiting area and had crawled into bed. Just as well, I was not going to cut it until I showed it to Grandma the next day.
All’s well that ends well! In our home birthdays last for days and days! In the case of the kids…….All year long!
More celebrating later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Cute pic of the Mayor. I love the caketoo.
I loved the cake cute picture of Chaps
That cake looks great. Never knew there
were basset cake pans. You did a great job
decorating it and Chaps looks very appreciative
of your efforts. Is that why he announced he wants his dinner 2 hrs earlier?
I think you did a superr job. Ace of Cakes, look out – this could be a whole new career move for you, Cat. Bassethoundtown Cakes – with you, Grandma and Grandpa and of course, the kids – this would make a great TV show.

I think you did a great job too Cat! And I’ll bet the mayor had no complaints about the decorating job. Ha!
The cake is wonderful, and it looks like Chaps felt it was worth the wait!
YUM!
