Paw Print Cake or Cupcakes

Feb 05 2008

Published by Linette at 11:35 pm under Birthday Cakes

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.

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!
