My dad turned 75 yesterday and wanted a hot dog party, so we committed to the theme!

Hot dog is red velvet cake and buns are vanilla cake. All buttercream started as vanilla and then was dyed with gel food coloring and cocoa powder until it turned the appropriate hot dog color. Topped with buttercream mustard and gummy bear relish.
