A birthday cake i made for my dad.Had a baby in May and am just now getting back to baking. I was just starting on cakes so my skill level is very new! I'm just starting woth basics. Recommendations welcome.
This is a almond cake with raspberry filling and chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream. The chocolate ganche drizzle didn't turn out as hoped. I think it was too thick.
The messy side is unfortunately from my dag who ate a hole in it while I tended to the baby. My dad was a trooper and cut that part off and enjoyed the rest.

Oooo almond cake! I’d go to town on that regardless of the pup’s interference 😁
You did great and congrats on the little one!

Beautiful! The dog wanted to help! 😊
Chocolate is toxic to dogs so please at least call your vet.
Uhm is your dog ok????
Chocolate and tree nuts are deadly to dogs
It’s a good thing dogs are so cute!

can you blame him for wanting some of that?! i would do it too!
This is funny 😂
Your dog only took a bite?! One time, my dog disappeared an entire cake in the time it took for me to grab a knife and back. I had to lie to my sweet colleague who went out of her way to bake it for me.
Looks good and both your dad and dog enjoyed it
I had to laugh! Years ago I made my first Super Mario cake. Put it on a desk in the study. It was a lot of work. Dog ate his head off. It looks yummy.
I can’t believe it, that innocent looking soul?! Surely not!! I think he was framed…
It gives it character!!! 🐾
He should at least have left a paw print!!!
Looks delish!!
Looks great to me.
I feel your pain. I have Great Danes that are table height standing. My crazy lady once managed to get cookies from the top of the toaster oven on the counter
It was just sitting there and I wanted a sample in case it tasted really bad
Just tell him the dog helped frost it. He’ll love it!
Its not awful, I’m sure he will love it regardless.
Please tell me that you took your dog to the vet if they ate any of it. Both chocolate and almonds are EXTREMELY toxic for dogs. This is basically poison for a dog.
