Paw Print Cake or Cupcakes

My niece had her 6th birthday party this weekend. My sister planned a dog themed birthday party for her.
She made a really cute paw print birthday cake, and cupcakes to match the colors in the dog themed party supplies. She used a Wilton #12 tip, then flattened the icing to look like paw prints. She used the same tip to edge the bottom of the cake.
This cake would also be really cute for a cat themed, Webkinz, Pawparazzi pets, or bear themed birthday party. It’s not a complicated cake to make. The cupcakes are even simpler.

We used that same tableware for Hannah’s party back in November!
I love this cake though – we didn’t have a choice for hers since her party was at a play place that didn’t allow us to bring our own, but with two doggie-loving kids, I’m going to have to remember this!
This reminds me of blues clues!!
I luv the cupcakes setting..I’m considering having cupcakes on a 2-tier cake cardboard “platform” instead of having a whole cake and cutting it after that.
I can distribute the cupcakes to each child after blowing the candles!This way,even if the child decide to have it later..it wouldn’t be a mess to pack into ziplocks.
I love it. I’ll have to keep this in mind for a future party. I think it’s so much fun to create general themes. It takes a bit of planning, but the originality makes for a memorable occasion.
That is just the cutest thing I think I’ve ever seen! Love that cake. Just fabulous.
Thanks Susan:)
how did you make the paw print on the cupcakes? is it just a circle of frosting smooshed down? new to baking mom!!!! thanks!
I was planning on making this exact cake for my bf’s daughter– how did she go about making the smaller cakes for the paw? Did she get a small cake pan or cut them out? Looks pretty simple and cute
Michelle~ Yes the paw prints are a circle of frosting, then you just pat it down after it dries a bit.
Kristen~ The smaller cakes are a smaller cake pan, I think it was the Wilton Mini Ball pan, if I remember right, lol. That pan would definitely work.
Thanks for stopping by!
